Episode 015 / Moral Relativism

Listen Later

Everything's relative! Or is it? No, we're not talking about your crazy uncle who makes everyone cringe at Thanksgiving. We're talking about Moral Relativism, that delicious little thought experiment that takes us down the rabbit hole of unanswerable questions. Is there universal moral code by which we can all live? Where in the world do we find examples of such a code? Where might we find exceptions? In this episode, you might encounter the answers you seek. But then again, you might scream at us through your device, or you might just be left scratching your head! You'll have to listen to our epic season 1 finale to find out!
