I always thought for myself that ethics was really, and I know that it's kind of a weak metaphor, but I always used driving an automobile in regards to ethics.
Ever wondered how driving can teach us about ethics? In this episode of 'The Leaves of a Victim Nevermore', Steven Wilson takes you on a journey through reflective morality, using the metaphor of driving to explore ethical conduct. Drawing from John Dewey's 'The Moral Life', Steven dives into the science of right and wrong, and how these concepts shape our daily actions.
He also touches on Bentham's legal positivism and the justice versus revenge paradigm, challenging listeners to rethink conventional views on morality and law. This episode isn't just for philosophy buffs; it's for anyone curious about the moral compass guiding our lives. Steven's candid reflections encourage you to ponder your own ethical decisions and the broader societal norms that influence them.
