169: A Sentientism Salon with the American Ethical Union – with Amy Halpern-Laff and Jamie Woodhouse – hosted by Hugh Taft-Morales – a cross-post bonus episode

Sentientism 19 September 2023


Background

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 a salon session about Sentientism with the American Ethical Union back in February 2022 hosted by Hugh Taft-Morales. Amy Halpern-Laff and I (Jamie Woodhouse) presented the Sentientism worldview and we had a great Q&A session with the group.

If you prefer video you can watch the session on the AEU YouTube channel here.

Find out more about the AEU on their website here.

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.”
