The Source of Moral Truth (with Peter Singer) (Episode 22)
Manage episode 430865454 series 2941284
Episode 22: Reason is the source of moral truth. There are few people on this planet who have done more to defend that proposition than Peter Singer. And I was honored to sit down with Peter, nearly 50 years after the publication of Animal Liberation, to see what he’s learned about the journey to a reason-based system of ethics.
