Have you ever been sued for libel? You're pushing your luck, little man (or woman, as it may be).

Kingfisher wrote:Great philosophical minds of Philosophy Now! I have a challenge for you. The challenges are as follows:

1. How can the welfare state, especially the extensive ones, be understood from an Aristotelian and Utilitarian position?

2. Is it possible to defend progressive fines for speeding, i.e. fines for speeding based on income, by using the distributive justice thinkers like Rawls, Nozick, Cohen and Walzer or from positions such as the principle of fairness?

I await your replies eagerly!
1. Since Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander the Great, he would say conquer the welfare state. There is little utility for extensive welfare.

2. You can defend any thought of justice if you have enough power. Fair is that which the person with the most effective killing machines says it is.

What the hell does that have to do with "fairness," have you lost your mind?
