Læs mere Daily 15: Philosophy to Welcome the Day

A deep and thoughtful life is a life well lived. Explore philosophy, and think in the company of others. Our podcast is simple. Each episode, we 'zoom in' to two paragraphs from a philosophical work. It could be anything: From Plato, to Freud, to Homer, to Proust! Our goal is to give you the tools to think about the paragraph and ideas yourself, to de-ivory-tower-ify it, rather than provide a simple summary. Think of it like a morning mental workout. New episodes every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Kant on Respect for the (Moral) Law

Today’s excerpt comes from Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. Kant distinguishes acting from duty (from respect for the moral law) from acting merely in accordance with duty out of inclination or in pursuit of specific outcomes.

Stocker on Ethical Schizophrenia

Today's excerpt comes from a paper titled ‘The Schizophrenia of Modern Ethical Theories’ by Michael Stocker. One quick correction: though Socrates famously denies one can do what he knows to be worse, many philosophers think otherwise!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
