Greetings, fellow seekers of truth and wisdom! Welcome to another exciting episode of The Will to Power Hour. On today’s episode, we’ll discuss everything from morality to zombie orgasms, all while enjoying the delightfully hoppy Grapefruit Sculpin IPA by Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits. L’chaim!
Abstract:
When is it morally permissible to kill a zombie? When is it morally permissible to kill anyone for that matter? Morality has been a staple of philosophical inquiry since Plato, and on this episode of WPH, we’ll do what anyone confronted with imminent death at the hands of a brain eating reanimated corpse would do: engage in nuanced dialectic about the finer points of Kantianism and Utilitarianism. We’ll also explore medical ethics and zombie orgasms with our special guest, neuropsychology PhD candidate Sarah Shadi.
