This week continues on from before on the topics of Rawls and his view on creating an ideal system of Justice. Please note that we make a few small mistakes in this episode when referring to Rawls' principles of justice and the Original Position. Therefore, if you are in any way interested, I highly suggest reading Rawls' A Theory of Justice (which you can find online for free) or reading Stanford's summary of the book.

This week, Alex and Azul discuss the issue of Euthanasia with a strong focus on some of the popular for and against arguments regarding Euthanasia and what it would mean if it were legalised. 

This episode is a precursor to several special New Zealand-focused episodes on Euthanasia that will focus specifically on NZ's Euthanasia Act to be voted into parliament in early October. Do not worry our beloved non-Kiwi listeners, these special episodes will not interfere with our usual episodes!

In this week's episode, Alex and Azul explore one of the many discourses between Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius and Lady Philosophy as described in his work, The Consolation of Philosophy.

Where does happiness lie? Why do bad things happen to good people? These are just a few of the questions that are addressed by this 1,500-year-old ancient text, written by Boëthius as he awaited his execution. This week's episode, part one of a longer series exploring The Consolation of Philosophy, focuses on Wealth.

Bonus: Azul falls in love with the personification of Philosophy... Literal plummeting here...

Have you ever tried juggling live babies? How about juggling golden balls? The difference eludes us.... Anyway! You'll be pleased to hear that this week's topic has nothing to do with juggling! Instead, in this week's episode, Alex and Azul delve deep into the concept of an inherent human nature. Do we have an inherent human nature? Is it good? Is it bad? And most importantly, what do golden balls and babies have to do with it!? Join us and find out!!!!

In today's episode, Alex and Azul do a brief jump into the world of beauty and the differing opinions of beauty, quoting John Donne and Roger Scruton as a springboard to dive into the wide and often-warped world of beauty. What is beauty and why is something beautiful? Today's episode takes a brief look into these questions and more!
