Is nihilism compatible with the moral life?

Tracy Laniera, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Society, dives into the murky waters of nihilism and its implications for morality. The discussion highlights the clash between Batman's moral resolve and the Joker's chaos, raising questions about ethical frameworks. They explore how nihilism doesn't negate moral responsibility, arguing instead for a personal approach to ethics in a seemingly indifferent universe. The conversation also touches on democratic coexistence and the role of lived experiences in shaping responses to societal injustices.
