Morality Before Metaphysics | Simon Blackburn, Raymond Tallis, Joanna Kavenna

Are our descriptions of the world independent from our morality? And should philosophy aim to interpret change the world or to change it?

On today’s episode we’re discussing the relationship between morality and metaphysics and whether putting morality first is a good idea when proposing theories.

To help us debate the role of morality we’re joined remotely by cultural critic and polymath Raymond Tallis, award-winning novelist Joanna Kavenna and renowned philosopher and ethicist Simon Blackburn investigate the relationship between metaphysics and morality. Hilary Lawson hosts.
