Questions
1. If people are just complex machines, what does that suggest about the moral status of machines? Could I be committing murder every time I turn off the computer? Explain your answer.
2. Tolstoy held that art should have the widest appeal possible- that a simple realistic illustration is better than an abstract painting, because more people can share in the emotions provoked in the by the realistic illustration. Does it seem correct to you that the best art is the most widely accessible art? Why or why not?
3. What arguments can be given for and against the desirability of the existence of “ interest groups” or (as Madison called them) “factions” in a democracy? Which position do you think is correct?
