This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video provides a set of examples meant to help viewers understand ch. 2 of W.D. Ross' The Right and the Good. In this video, we focus on Ross' list of seven prima facie duties, examining what they are, how they arise, and how they differ from each other.
