Tom Talks...

In this episode, I talk with Ali Seven about special obligations. The basic issue we approach is a dilemma we all experience in our everyday moral lives. It is said all humans ought to be treated with equal moral consideration, but we do not live our lives this way. We care much more about some people over others, and often feel justified for providing more resources to our loved ones, friends, and fellow citizens over strangers and non-nationals. How are we to resolve this problem of partiality vs. impartiality?    Ali Seven is a PhD student at Queens University (Canada) where he specializes in political theory. Beforehand, he finished his undergraduate and masters degree at the Department of Political Science at Western University.   ---   If you enjoyed this content, subscribe on iTunes and Youtube, and visit thomaserandall.ca/tom-talks1.html.
