About Philosophy for the People
Philosophy for the People's mission is an educational program aimed at overcoming the paucity of serious, fair-minded, and accessible philosophical discourse available to a popular audience. Though we are ourselves dedicated to the Catholic intellectual tradition, we are likewise committed to exploring ideas from all rigorous traditions of philosophizing (scholastic, classical, analytic, and phenomenological). We pursue this mission by providing long-form guided readings of great texts, discussions with expert guests, our own open-ended philosophical discussions of issues and thinkers, live question and answer opportunities, in depth lecture courses, and our own articles and book-length writings. Philosophy for the People's pedagogical materials will be provided either without charge or for minimal cost to assure provision of broad access to first-rate philosophical education.

[…] So we have our needs and we have our wants. Needs are the things that are really good for us as set by our nature, not our wants or our contingent fancies or preferences or desires. So I think natural law has a really good story that helps to avoid relativism, nihilism, or moral facts being stance dependent and stuff like that. The problem with sort of natural law by itself, or what we might call like a bare Aristotelianism, I think comes with constraint. And this is the thing that I try to pick up on a lot in my dissertation aside from the epistemological considerations. And one objection that I've heard a lot in conversation from smart people, but I haven't found in the literature a whole lot, is the evil teloy objection. […]
