Dignifying Our Neighbors Pt. 2: Objections and Replies (and More Objections) - a podcast by The Vim Podcast

Kevin, Ally, and Zach return to finish their discussion of Kevin’s article, “On Dignifying One’s Neighbor” (https://thevimblog.com/2017/02/23/on-dignifying-ones-neighbor/). For starters, you’d best take a listen to Part 1, especially the explainer that starts at 49:39.

In this episode Kevin, Ally, and Zach explore some objections to Kevin’s theory of dignity—and then some replies. If we create dignity and rights in each other, what if we restrict the scope of the moral community? What if some individuals should have rights but we don’t recognize them? Is that even possible? Plus, Kevin ties his piece to the Declaration of Independence. Does our hallowed document express a deep moral insight or is it deeply flawed? Surely both, right? They also discuss Nietzsche’s concept of the will to power.
