A Moral Quandary? | Spectrum Street Epistemology with Adam Friended of the Sitch & Adam Show

Adam Friended, co-host of the Sitch & Adam Show, joins Peter and Reid for Spectrum Street Epistemology on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. They discuss morality and explore moral thinking a guiding principle in human conduct.

In their conversation they argue about the interplay between kindness and rules, the role of personal virtues in moral judgment, the conceptualization of morality as a societal technology, and the distinction between legal compliance and ethical integrity. It sounds high fluentant but they’re both plainspoken and straightforward in their disagreement.
