Please read the following three pieces in preparation for class on February 7, when we will discuss the question of the relationship between ethics and the law. These readings are varying lengths--the Plato excerpt is about 2 pages, the King and Rawls excerpts are about 15-20 pages each. Please read them and take notes on them. Your notes should focus on two things: 1) summarizing and understanding the author's point of view 2) responding to the author's point of view from your own perspective.
Plato, excerpt from Crito
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail (pay attention to pages 7-10)
John Rawls, excerpt from A Theory of Justice
