➤ Ethics and philosophy discussions • climate justice and environmental ethics • Indigenous perspectives • protest ethics and civil disobedience tactics • achievement, value, and moral evaluationThis podcast from the Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University explores philosophical and practical questions about how people ought to live, especially in situations where moral values conflict. Across its recent conversations, the show examines ethical issues through a mix of contemporary debates and historically grounded case studies, using them to challenge common assumptions and clarify concepts that shape public life.
A recurring focus is the ethics of collective action and social change. Discussions consider what makes certain forms of protest morally permissible or open to criticism, and how judgments about tactics, effectiveness, and respect for persons can come apart. The podcast also addresses environmental responsibility through the lens of climate justice, emphasizing how Indigenous philosophical perspectives can reshape standard ways of thinking about nature, obligation, and the distribution of harms and benefits.
Alongside these applied topics, the show digs into questions of personal value and moral assessment, such as what counts as an achievement and why achievements might matter ethically. By combining conceptual analysis with interviews and guided discussion, the podcast aims to make ethical reasoning more explicit and to illuminate how moral ideas operate in everyday and political contexts.
