Bernard Williams, Oxford University: "The Human Prejudice" - October 15, 2002
Bernard Williams, a prominent philosopher and Fellow of All Souls College, dives deep into the complexities of human prejudice and ethics. He explores the intersections of humanism and nihilism, along with the impact of classical literature on Renaissance thought. The discussion also critiques utilitarianism and examines human significance in a broader cosmic context. Additionally, Williams challenges listeners to rethink speciesism and our moral responsibilities towards other beings, including animals and potential extraterrestrial intelligences.
