Ofra Magidor on Epistemicism and Moral Vagueness

Sometimes, there is vagueness about whether it is morally permissible (or even in some situations required) to perform a certain act—moral vagueness. What is the source of moral vagueness?

Jonathan Birch on the Edge of Sentience

Recent zoological research has shown us that a wide range of animals are likely to have sentience. We don't know for sure. There is sufficient evidence to think that it is likely that, for example, lobsters can feel pain. What should we do in the light of this? Jonathan Birch of the LSE, author of The Edge of Sentience, discusses this important question with Nigel Warburton.

I have been listening to this podcast loyally for over ten years because each episode is provocative and presents enlightening ways of thinking about deep questions. The wide range of philosophical topics are well represented. The most recent episode on moral heroes with Elizabeth Harman seemed unpromising at first, but left me thinking critically about the choices I, my family, and my friends make in our dealings with others. Like many episodes, the short quarter-hour episode gave me tools to think. I especially like the way David and Nigel eschew chit-chat and dive right in to the meat of the episode. This shows a respect for listeners’ time, which I greatly appreciate. I like this style so much that in 2020 I modeled my own podcast Geology Bites on it. I hope they don’t get bored with it even though they have notched up a staggering 375 episodes.

The latest series on the lives of the philosophers is spot on. Almost makes me want to resurrect my old plan to go for the PhD in Philosophy!

I generally enjoy longer format podcasts but it’s great to have the option to hear about topics in shorter discussions. The hosts ask good questions and let the guests do most of the speaking. They also lend intelligent and informed perspectives.

Strange that you would platform this guy right after he was suspended from The Atlantic due to a rape allegation.
