Previous Episode: 41. Philosophers are the Life of the Party!
Next Episode: 43. Evaluation of Good and Bad (Action) Is Beyond Us
Can a philosopher of ethics get away without a metaphysics to support or corroborate their ethical theory? Can a metaphysician get away with leaving unexamined the existence of good and evil, as well as free will, which informs good and bad action? In this episode, we use Mr. Ramsey from Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse', as well as Socrates, as exemplary case studies of one version of the philosopher—the ethicist without a metaphysics—and the other—the metaphysician whose own conduct is his blind spot when examining reality.
