Video Series: The Examined Life
This video series is now twenty years old and was aimed at college students but it is still useful. The episodes can be demanding for Higher pupils but if they are given questions to keep them on task that helps.
DVDs of the series sometimes become available on places such as ebay.
A standard web search will usually find some of them as well but, as with much of the material on the web, I wouldn't vouch for it being there legally.
The four episodes that might be particularly useful are:
Is reason the source of knowledge? | questions | |
Does Knowledge Depend on Experience? | questions | |
Can Rules Define Morality? | questions | |
Does the end justify the means? | questions |
The episode, Moral Dilemmas ... Can Ethics Help?
has been made legally available and will give a sense of the series.
