  • Quality philosophy podcast

    Host is an excellent interviewer; guests are quite varied. I liked especially the episodes with Oliver Traldi and the one on Liberalism (guest’s name escapes me atm). Look forward to more.

Q: Would you abandon moral realism if you came to see that hard determinism were true?
If convinced that hard determinism is true, I would revise my account of the requirements of free will and become a soft determinist, but would have to conclude that there wouldn't be anything anyone should or shouldn't do.
