Description
Sam Harris gets back in the VBW ring for another round on moral responsibility, ethical theories, and the grounds for our obligations to other people. Are we at a genuine stalemate when it comes to blame and desert? Is Tamler a closet consequentialist? Is Sam a closet pluralist? Why is Dave such a big Wagner fan? Plus, Twitter shaming: what is it good for? Settle in, get comfortable, pour yourself a drink, you’re in for the long haul on this one.LinksHow One Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco's Life [nytimes.co]The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris [samharris.org]Value Pluralism [plato.stanford.edu]Bill Burr vs. Philly [youtube.com] Special Guest: Sam Harris.
