Moral Minority
Charles & DevinMoral Minority is a podcast on moral philosophy and the problem of moral foundations. Why does morality matter? What grounds the moral principles to which we appeal when making judgments about right and wrong, justice and injustice? Do we have good grounds for making the judgments we do make–in our everyday lives, our relationships, our work, or in politics? And if not, where does that leave us?

- What a First Year!
I deeply appreciate the rigor, openness, and accessibility. Please never develop the irritating interruptive bug most podcasting personalities inevitably learn. If it happens, I’ll try enjoy the irony of the egotistical urge manifesting in a morally centered podcast.
Keep it up. You are helping.

United Kingdom2 years ago - Knowledgeable & thoughtful discussion of Nietzsche’s ‘Dawn’
I enjoyed this for several reasons.
First, the accuracy in summarizing Nietzsche’s Dawn, which is one of my favorites from him.
Second, this is also the rare podcast where the speakers are both concise & able to verbalize well. + it’s Ep 1 & unedited!
Third, the mystifying & somewhat infuriating Carlos Fuentes passage at the beginning is intended to force the listener to read that book in order to discover the relation.
Fourth, Where else can one get possibly ahistorical slander of Plato for not... more
Apple Podcasts5Palomar-qfwfqUnited States2 years ago - Review
The Moral Minority attempts to get at a question all too often dismissed in left political spaces as metaphysical quackery: moral thought and responsibility. With the rise of far right movements globally and the lack of a real leftist challenge to them, the need to question our assumptions pertaining to political and ethical commitments is more urgent than ever. With two hosts as well read as they are well spoken they are bound to make some headway.
