Description

In this second episode, Jake and Ant explore the circumstances in which we may be justified in doing something we'd typically class as wrong. Are we ever justified in using violence, particularly against those who have done or intend to do bad things? Would you be proud if your child punched a bully? Would you lie to an axe-murderer? Can you punch a secret nazi? All this and more discussed in this episode, including a breakdown of the 3 main types of moral frameworks - virtue based ethics, consequentalist and deontological.

Do you enjoy asking the big questions in life? Or the medium-sized questions? And then debating them with your friends? We can't promise to help you win every argument, but in this podcast, join us as we debate all kinds of everyday issues. With clear definitions, and some help from philosophers throughout history, we break down the key arguments of questions like "Should billionaires exist?", "Is God a good thing?" and many more. We're Jake and Ant, two friends who studied a mix of philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford. We started this podcast during Covid-19, and what began as a lockdown hobby to curb our own boredom has somehow ended up becoming one of the Top 2% of podcasts worldwide. It’s been flatteringly described as “Like listening to your mates argue in the pub, except they’re not rude to each other and they sound like they know what they’re talking about”. Well, when we do our research anyway.
