This episode is an interview/discussion with David Bather Woods. David is an assistant professor in the University of Warwick's philosophy department, and a previous guest of this podcast.
In this episode, we discuss various questions about evil and evil-doers, including:
- Do you have to be free to be evil?
- If we aim to understand evil-doers, do we risk forgiving them?
- If our situations were different, could we all do evil things?
- What makes an evil act evil, rather than just very bad?
