“My mother thought my inclinations would do well in Law, but I was too shy and deliberative - slowfooted - for that, so I determined to be an English and German high school teacher. In my first year of university I had one subject to "fill in" and chose philosophy against the advice of my counselor. My university teachers in English and German were totally uninspiring; philosophy was wonderful and my results showed it. I chose it and basically backed into a situation in which only a philosophy career seemed a viable option. I've never regretted it, but there was a lot of serendipity.” PhilosophySchoolMotherSituationTeacherWonderfulAdviceHigh SchoolDeterminedShySerendipityNever Regret Author:John Kleinig
“The various roles we incorporate into the criminal justice system as well as the ways in which we construe such roles, lend themselves to the kind of ethical reflection that is open to us all. That said, once we have determined roles and their contours, those who act within them may have special duties and privileges that others may lack. Specific roles may generate ethical inquiries with novel forms, just as new technologies may push us in new directions.” KindJusticeTechnologyNovelSpecialDutyReflectionVariousDeterminedEthicalNew TechnologyJustice SystemCriminal Justice Author:John Kleinig
