Rhetoric and Ethics 1999-2000, February

Ethics describe social arrangements, but communities we live in are much larger and more diverse than they have ever been. So who really makes those agreements? How long can we expect them to last? How do we change them? And, most of all, how can we work on agreements that respect our differences?

Professor Hunter engages in discussion with eminent commentators on contemporary society.
