Everybody wrestles with questions about ethics. Some of those questions are easy to figure out. Should I murder someone? No! But other questions are more difficult to answer. Examining Ethics doesn’t provide answers to these ethical dilemmas, but instead leaves listeners with tools and ideas from some of the biggest names in moral philosophy and ethics. Academic philosophy and ethics can sometimes be difficult to understand, and our accessible, open-minded content bridges the gap between scholars and everyone else.

Customer Reviews
A ‘new’ Philosophy Podcast you should listen to,
I tend to keep 5-8 philosophy podcast in my ‘rotation’. This one is a new addition and I love the length and content. Perhaps if you only have time for 1 podcast you could do better, but if you have time for a couple Philosophy podcasts, you should include this one.
THIS PODCAST IS GREAT.
This podcast will have you running to your thinking chair! The subjects discussed are ones that we should all be having with friends and family.
Grab a nice hot cup of tea and have a seat in your favorite thinking chair. Be ready to go outside of the box.
