Ep.106 Kant Vs. Bentham Part 2

from Philosophy? WTF?? · host Danny O'Donnell & Dr. Michael Alsford

This week join Dr Mike as he gives a mad axeman Danny’s exact postal address and contact details, just in case. Listen carefully and take extensive notes as Mike and Danny consider what the untestable beliefs are that ground their understanding of reality. Do we have to assume an absolute judge in order to be good guys or can we work it out as we go along? Just how fast can nonsense travel on stilts? Settle back and lightly oil yourselves down as Bentham argues for an ethic based on the happy ending principle. What is the hedonic calculus and is there an app that can be downloaded on to your phone? Hubba, hubba, hubba, who do you trust? Me, I’m giving away the categorical imperative but where is Jeremy Bentham? He’s at home, washing his pig.Subscribe to our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC35J0gXTEQas0NEIuKmTZRgJoin Our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/454227078353259/ Follow us on Twitter: @PhilosophyWtf Contact us: [email protected]
