单集简介 ...

On this episode of the podcast, we continue our discussion of Kant, this time focusing on ethics. We begin with a thought experiment that calls into question whether or not lying is morally justifiable if it results in preserving human life. Next, we discuss the nature of morality and question the validity of the sources from which we typically derive these concepts. Finally, we explore the strengths and weaknesses of Deontology and Consequentialism and find out that there isn’t an easy answer when it comes to how human action should be judged.

  • Hope you love the show today.

  • So in very philosophize this fashion,

  • I want to start out the episode today by putting you through an absolutely ridiculous thought experiment.

  • Want you to imagine something, right?

  • I want you to imagine you're sitting at home, it's a Sunday afternoon, you're relaxing on the couch.

  • Drinking some lemonade, maybe watching a little Netflix,

  • you're laughing at something on the TV and all of a sudden you hear a knock at the door.

  • It startles you.

  • Huh, that's odd.

  • I'm not expecting anyone.

  • It's Sunday afternoon.

  • Who's at my door?

  • You like how I'm telling this like I'm an author?

  • Something like it matters what the heck you're thinking when you're sitting on your couch and someone comes to your door for the thought experiment.

  • Anyway, enough of that, right?

  • You answer the door and standing before you is a disgruntled looking man,

  • a really scary looking gentleman wielding an axe of some sort.
