So today's lecture is devoted,
in some sense, to this tying
00:00:06
up of loose ends.
00:00:09
I have from you, 29
single-spaced pages worth of
00:00:14
questions, which you asked in
your directed exercise nine.
00:00:19
And I'm going to answer
all of them in detail.
00:00:22
Actually I'm not going to answer
all of them in detail.
00:00:25
I'm going to try to pick out
some of the ones that I think
00:00:29
will be of general interest and
welcome those of you whose
00:00:32
questions aren't answered to
come by during office hours.
00:00:37
So one way to think about what
we do when we encounter an
00:00:42
article in this class is
thinking about what you do
00:00:46
when you encounter a building
for the first time-- say, the
00:00:52
and are given guidance
about how to make
00:00:56
sense of that building.
00:00:59
So one of the things that I've
tried to do for each of the
00:01:02
articles or books that we've
read is just to give you a
00:01:06
sense of its general shape.
00:01:09
To give you a sense of what's
distinctive about it, to give
00:01:13
you a sense of how it's
structured internally and how
00:01:17
that internal structure
determines what it is that
00:01:22
we're able to do with that
article and what it is that
00:01:25
that article is able
to illuminate.
00:01:27
But I've tried, in certain
cases, to give you a sense of
00:01:32
the neighborhood in which that
article can be found, just as
00:01:37
in talking about the Eiffel
Tower, I might show you where
00:01:41
in Paris it's located.
00:01:43
Or I might try to give you a
sense of how that article
00:01:47
relates to other approaches
of the same kind --
00:01:50
how the Eiffel Tower
relates to other
00:01:53
iconic monumental buildings.
00:01:56
The question of the relation
between the individual
00:01:59
articles that we read for today
and the larger framework
00:02:04
is primarily something
that I'll discuss
00:02:07
in Thursday's lecture.
00:02:09
Though I'll get at some of it
in comparing and contrasting
00:02:13
the political philosophy
views today.
00:02:15
What I want to do a bit more of
today is to look at some of
00:02:21
the details of some of the
arguments and articles and
00:02:25
writings that we've considered
in the way that we might look
00:02:29
at part of a building and ask
how it's structured there,
00:02:34
recognizing that in so doing,
there's lots of other parts of
00:02:38
the building to which we
don't pay attention.
00:02:42
Or we might want to ask, with
respect to what sort of
00:02:47
problem is the building
constructed?
00:02:50
Here are the plans for
the Eiffel Tower.
00:02:53
So the goal in today's lecture
is, with regard to a number of
00:02:59
the questions that you raised
in your directed exercise
00:03:02
nine, to look at some of the
details of some of the
