   Ep. 119: How Do We Minimize Suffering? (Part II)

   In this episode, Giuseppe and Anthony continue their conversation on Peter Singer's philosophy as it pertains to minimizing suffering -- this time shifting away from humans as a focal point: Can animals suffer? How can we know? What does this mean when it comes to eating animals? Testing products on animals? How is the argument from "Animal Liberation" a continuation of the argument from "Famine, Affluence, and Morality?"

   Ep. 118: How Do We Minimize Suffering? (Part I)

   In this episode, Giuseppe and Anthony begin to discuss to the work of contemporary philosopher Peter Singer in honor of his recent retirement from Princeton University: What exactly does it mean to suffer, and how to we minimize it? What should our stance be towards global aid and charity? Do we have a moral obligation to donate excess income to poor people in other countries? Are the obligations we have to those in out own local communities/states/countries equal to those we have in others?
