In Episode 9, I discuss the ethics behind the Oxford Utilitarianism Survey Questionnaire (Oxford Utilitarianism Scale)with fellow teacher John Price. This is the first visit on the podcast for John. We both attempted to find our just how "Utilitarian" we are by examining our results out of a 63 point scale. We only addressed 1-5 questions in our Part 1. In Part 2, we will discuss 6-9 and others topics within Utilitarianism in pop culture.

Sorry for the two and a half week break! We are back and going strong again. This is our 5th episode of Knowing You Know Nothing (the official podcast of The Philosophes).

This week I am fortunate to have my friend and fellow Philosophes member, Chris Bean. We will be introducing the discussion of whether or not American is a land of opportunity. This topic is a difficult one to tackle in just one podcast. We may revisit this topic more in the future with more guests. The podcast sparks a great chance for this discussion to continue on our open Facebook group.
