Steven Viner

This course is extremely thought provoking and a great intro/easy philosophy class. There are three papers throughout the course that were graded pretty easy. Weekly readings are extremely manageable. Prof was super nice and enthusiastic. Lectures were sometimes a bit boring because prof likes to go on tangents, but overall this course covered very interesting topics and facilitated valuable discussions on contemporary issues.

This course served as a great introduction to philosophy. The readings introduced some very interesting concepts, and I appreciated the clear structure and requirements of the essay exams. While Professor Viner’s teaching style can be difficult to follow at times, the clarity of the assignments made the expectations easy to understand. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

I did enjoy this class a lot. I thought it provided a lot of networking opportunities if you are interested in the legal field (especially on the DC Trip). My only complaint was that Viner definitely feels strongly about moral objectivism and he didn't really allow for conversations about other moral views and how other views might impact alternative legal and ethical systems. Other than that, I learned a lot of case theory and other foundational aspects of legal ethics. I would really recommend this class for anyone interested in exploring the legal field. It provides a great overview and Viner is very passionate about what he teaches which makes it ten times more engaging.
