Philip Goff Philosophy

1 | Arguing Ethical Emotivism with Alex O'Connor


Listen Later

Alex O'Connor and I have the same view on consciousness (we think it's fundamental) but we radically disagree on whether morality is objective. Here I try to convince Alex that either he joins me in thinking morality is objective, or he gives up his view that consciousness is fundamental. He can't have it both ways!! AM I RIGHT??
