Doing Right And Feeling Good | Anders Sandberg, Simon Baron-Cohen, Peter Dews
from Philosophy for our times | The Institute of Art and Ideas Podcast · host IAI
We think empathising with others is the route to a better world. But studies show that empathy encourages us to help one named child over ten anonymous others. Is morality perhaps not about empathy at all? Does the moral way to act have more to do with thinking than feeling, or is empathy a vital force for good? The Panel 'Zero Degrees of Empathy' author Simon Baron-Cohen, philosopher Peter Dews and Oxford Transhumanist Anders Sadnberg dispute how to be good.
