  • Utilitarianism. Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.

    Utilitarianism. Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.
    May 16 2024
    This episode will be exploring Utilitarianism’s Principles, Criticisms, and Contemporary Perspectives.

    Utilitarianism is a moral theory that suggests the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined by its consequences, specifically by the amount of happiness or pleasure it produces. This theory traces its origins to the works of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, who developed and popularized utilitarian thought in the 19th century.

    Jeremy Bentham, in his book "An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation," laid out the basic principles of utilitarianism. He argued that the goal of ethics should be to maximize happiness or pleasure and minimize suffering or pain for the greatest number of people. This concept of "the greatest happiness principle" forms the foundation of utilitarianism.

  • Metaphysics for Dummies.

    Metaphysics for Dummies.
    May 15 2024
    This episode is a summary of all the facinating ideas behind Metaphysics.

    Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals with the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, possibility and actuality. It explores questions about the nature of existence, the ultimate nature of reality, and the underlying principles that govern the universe.

    The term "metaphysics" comes from the Greek words "meta," which means "beyond," and "physics," which refers to the study of the natural world. Thus, metaphysics is often understood as the study of reality that goes beyond what is physical or observable. Learn not only what metaphysics is, but also the definition of metaphysics in all things life.
