UV24 – Moral Luck with Aaron Rabinowitz


Listen Later

On today’s episode I’m joined, once again, by the dope af Aaron Rabinowitz. Aaron is a lecturer on philosophy at Rutgers University, host of the Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space podcasts, and currently working on his PhD in Education. We talk about luck and how circumstances outside our control can, and arguably should, influence our moral judgments. Check it out!
