I have posted review questions for 19 November. H

About the exam:

You will be given a general essay topic, of the same kind as in previous exams and the term paper, but with som subquestions to help you structure the essay.

I have posted a set of review questions on Rawls. H

Jeg har lagt inn en artikkel p? norsk om ?konomisk likhet, skrevet for Fordelingsutvalget. Den kan egne seg til repetisjon, og gir noen norske termer. H

The seminar 19 November will be the last one, and you are all welcome. The programme will be discussion of review questions. H

About the seminars 5 and 12 November.
