Difficult Conversations With My Grandparents
<p>Sometimes philosophy topics can lead people into conversations they never expected to have. This week, I sat down with my grandparents to discuss Pluralistic Deontology, but found myself having in unexpected disagreement when the conversation shifted into the sensitive subject of discrimination. This episode is very different from ones produced before and I hope that it leads you to have your own difficult conversations with the people you love.</p> <p>Of course it’s not all difficult as we still find time to talk about stuff we all agree on such as; cherry tomatoes, boarding school antics, children in trees, the stone ages, corporal punishment, old Montreal curriculums, and most importantly…. those whacky British people.</p> <p>Other philosophical topics covered in this episode: W.D. Ross, the 7 Prima Facie Duties, moral conflicts, and ethical intuition.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Back Of The Class!</p> <p>If you’d like bonus content, exclusive merchandise, and other fantastic rewards, head over to <a href="http://patreon.com/botcop"><strong>patreon.com/botcop</strong></a></p> <p>If you liked what you heard and wanna stay informed, you can check out our socials</p> <p>INSTAGRAM: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/backoftheclass.pod/"><strong>@backoftheclass.pod</strong></a></p> <p>TWITTER: <a href="https://twitter.com/botcopPod"><strong>@botcopPod</strong></a></p>
