- drags 17y agoI took Sandel's course a few years ago at Harvard and most of these scenarios were very familiar. Philosophy/psych undergrads conduct surveys on these scenarios constantly. The thing that stuck out most to me about this project was that some of the questions made a point of including superfluous numerical details (e.g. "thirty-three infantry divisions" or "Forty-second Street"). Maybe they're seeing whether priming a subject with these numerical details modifies how we weigh moral alternatives.
