Debates

Philosophers, long with any academic working within the walls of the ivory towers, are often accused of being 'out of touch' with the lives and struggles of 'ordinary' persons living ordinary lives. This disconnect might explain why there is a lot of skepticism toward academic research, despite the expertise of the researchers. In the debates linked HERE, a professional philosopher or philosophy graduate student face off against a more 'ordinary' undergraduate and each attempts to justify their own ethical insights into our moral world.


Articles

This are short, ethically-focused, philosophy "light" articles that argue in favor of an ethical perspective on an issue that directly intersects with moral problems within the confines of "real life."
