The Ethics of Desire | Ep 05 - What makes us moral agents

SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE In this episode, Carlos Santos delves into the complexities of human desires, particularly focusing on metabiological desires and their implications for moral agency. He distinguishes, following Charles Taylor's philosophy, between weak and strong evaluations, exploring how these evaluations shape our understanding of morality and ethical standards. The conversation also touches on the objective versus subjective nature of morality, emphasizing that while our desires may differ, the values we recognize are perceived rather than invented.
