19 - Moral Ontology and the Nature of Values

November 11, 2016

This week, Spencer and Forrest discuss moral ontology and the nature of values and how they are grounded. They cover Euthyphro's dilemma, and unpack the problems and implications that both Christians and secularists have when grounding their moral philosophy.They include the "why" question: Why is 'God's nature' good? Or why is 'well-being' good? And how can each worldview derive an 'ought' statement from what 'is' the case?This was a fun show, and hopefully it will get you thinking and encourage you to reflect on why you behave in the ways that you do.
