Hardiness with Dr Paul Taylor Everyday Ethics & Philosophy with Dr Simon Longsatff
In todays’ podcast, I’m excited to be joined by a bona fide philosopher and ethicist. Dr Simon Longstaff has been Executive Director of The Ethics Centre for 30 years, working across business, government and society. He has a PhD in philosophy from Cambridge University, is a Fellow of CPA Australia and of the Royal Society of NSW, and an Honorary Professor at ANU National Centre for Indigenous Studies. Simon was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 2013.
Simon says that he is inspired by the opportunity to continue learning about our brilliant, troubling, contradictory, maddeningly beautiful form of being – simultaneously the most creative and destructive creature on earth; a source of wonder and dread. If he can help people to fall ‘just the right side’ of each question, then he can play a small role in making a better future.
Today, we dig into those ethical questions and everyday philosophy.
