Episode notes
The Atheist Commandments Project
- John Figdor and Lex Bayer authored "Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart", proposing secular commandments.
- Their "Rethink Project" invited revisions, judged by Adam Savage, resulting in a revised list.
Why Ten Commandments?
- The choice of "ten" commandments is arbitrary, mirroring Judeo-Christian tradition.
- This doesn't negate the project's value in exploring secular ethical guidelines.
Exploring Ethical Approaches
- Consider various ethical approaches like utilitarianism and virtue ethics.
- Don't limit yourself to deontology when formulating ethical guidelines.
