164: Talking about Sentientism on “Knowing Animals” with philosopher Josh Milburn – a cross-post bonus episode

Sentientism 15 August 2023


Background
share close

We discuss the biggest questions: "what's real?", "who matters?" and "how to make a better world?" with scientists, celebrities, activists, writers and philosophers. The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings." It's a simple, yet radical, philosophy that's grounded in reality (naturalistic epistemology) and has compassion for all sentient beings (mostly human and non-human animals). Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined.

This episode is a bonus cross-post of my conversation about Sentientism with Josh Milburn on his Knowing Animals podcast, founded by the late and much loved Siobhan O’Sullivan, as part of their Protecting Animals series.

Make sure you subscribe to Knowing Animals wherever you listen. Of course Josh has also been my guest on Sentientism back in episode 50. You can find it here on the Sentientism YouTube (don’t forget to subscribe and click the bell!) and here on the Sentientism Podcast.

In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what (and who) matters?”

The Sentientism worldview answers those questions with a commitment to “evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.”
