New podcast episode: “A Conversation on Moral Crises and Universal Ethics”

In our latest podcast episode we sat down with two moral philosophers Professor Antti Kauppinen and Dr. Simo Kyllönen from the University of Helsinki to explore the ethical questions behind some of the most urgent issues facing the world today.

·  Professor  Antti Kauppinen is a Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki, his research focuses on moral psychology, well-being, and how we make ethical decisions.

·  Dr. Simo Kyllönen is a political philosopher at the University of Helsinki, whose work explores global justice, environmental ethics, and the moral dimensions of systemic change.

As we reach the halfway point of 2025, the global picture is marked by war, climate crisis, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence. But behind the headlines lie deeper questions: What do we owe each other, across borders and generations? How do we define justice in a global context? And can we still hold on to a sense of shared morality in our fractured world? In part one, we reflect on moral responsibility, empathy, and the ethics of conflict. In part two, we turn to climate change, technology, and visions for the future.
