Special: Does Studying Philosophy Make Better Thinkers?

Our 2024-2025 season continues with a special episode in conversation with Michael Vazquez (UNC) and Michael Prinzing (Baylor), co-authors of a first-of-its-kind new study on the development of intellectual virtues among philosophy students, and are working to apply their methodology to learners all across the lifespan.

Examining Ethics is an ethics podcast produced by The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University. Everybody wrestles with questions about ethics. Some of those questions are easy to figure out. Should I murder someone? No! But other questions are more difficult to answer. Examining Ethics doesn’t provide answers to these ethical dilemmas, but instead leaves listeners with tools and ideas from some of the biggest names in moral philosophy and ethics. Academic philosophy and ethics can sometimes be difficult to understand, and our accessible, open-minded content bridges the gap between scholars and everyone else. Examining Ethics is hosted and produced by Christiane Wisehart.
