Manage episode 301261784 series 2948055
Utilitarianism is a moral school of thought revolved around doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It sounds good on paper, but does this approach work in real life? Can we boil down the entire of moral philosophy to this fairly simple rule?
Alex Farrow is an Oxbridge educated philosopher and a fellowship of the guardian of the galaxy (or something). Here we examine Utilitarianism, how it worked during COVID, and what its limits are.
Joining us is comedian Vince Atta who is very funny and insightful and available to follow on all social media accounts.
