The Ethics of Desire | Ep 09 - Is moral objectivity possible?

SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE In this episode, Carlos Santos explores the complex relationship between desire, morality, and emotions. He argues that while moral values are non-physical, they are still objective and real. Santos emphasizes the importance of emotions as perceptions that guide our understanding of moral values and the necessity of reasoning to evaluate these emotions. He discusses the characteristics of moral values, their dependence on human experience, and how desires can lead us to recognize objective goods. The conversation concludes with a transition to exploring how morality connects to living a meaningful life in future discussions.
