Tamler and David discuss the famous "beef" between Utilitarianism and Deontology, the influence of trolleyology on moral psychology, and whether utilitarians are psychopaths, psychopaths are utilitarian, or neither.

Episode 6: Trolleys, Utilitarians, and Psychopaths

Very Bad Wizards is a podcast featuring a philosopher (Tamler Sommers) and a psychologist (David Pizarro), who share a love for ethics, pop culture, and cognitive science, and who have a marked inability to distinguish sacred from profane. Each podcast includes discussions of moral philosophy, recent work on moral psychology and neuroscience, and the overlap between the two.
