BOOK REVIEW: Better Never to Have Been, The Harm of Coming into Existence by David Benatar.

from Philosophics — Philosophical and Political Ramblings · host Bry Willis

This is an audio rendition of my review of the book Better Never to Have Been, The Harm of Coming into Existence by David Benatar. In this book, Benatar defends the anti-natalist position that bringing sentient life into the world is immoral, although most of his argumentation is focused on human procreation. This is an extension of my Philosophics blog at http://philosophicsblog.wordpress.com, where I write about philosophical topics that I find interesting. I also engage in political and economic conversations. You can support my work by becoming a Patreon patron at https://www.patreon.com/philosophics
