POL 4187 Politics of International Ethics: Thesis

Dear Chelsea,

Here are my comments on your presentation:

Chelsea Flook

This was a smart and ambitious presentation, which sparked some very

interesting debate within the class.  On the other hand, it did take on

rather too much for a three minute presentation, and didn¹t quite manage 

to articulate the central arguments clearly enough.  It would have been 

more effective if you had focused in on one or two of the elements of

 this perspective. 

­ for example your discussion of Foucault¹s insight into the

power of language and the truth claims of scientific rationality 

and their implications for the conflict. 

 I suggest that you do the same for your

paper: choose one or two of these philosophers and work through the

implications of their claims for the conflict in Sudan and the ethics of

intervention.

That's an easy hint to a thesis eh what, may as well

 i had a fun and clever time at it, 

let me just sum up the debate



-take what i said

-elaborate what she tells me to

-including implications



 [consequentialism of theory of theorists

 who evaluate consequences of their juridico-discursive theory]

I am excited for reading week since it is also thinking and 

writing week too. I think we need more reading weeks in our lives.





Steady as she goes.







steady.
