Bad to the core - a moral (r)evolution
Manage episode 243934095 series 2525213
This week we consider the work of Frans de Waal, a primatologist exploring empathy in primates. Are humans bad to the core? What do we have in common with primates, and why does that matter? This episode is monkey business and then some! Plus: the never before revealed 'Ikea theory of morality', Na'ama shares her Hobbesian tinder bio, and we learn about the social universe of Melanie's pets!
What should I read?
Frans de Waal's Tanner Lectures on Human Values lecture, Morality and the Social Instincts: Continuity with the Other Primate (2003) is a treat!
