The Ethics of Extremism

We joined forces with ABC radio to deliver two sold out talks on personal identity with philosopher Pat Stokes.

The Philosopher's Zone

The Ethics of Identity

As part of our ‘Ethics of’ series, we put anxiety under the microscope. It hasn’t always been treated as a mental illness. Philosophers Kierkegaard and Heidegger thought anxiety helped reveal what it meant to be human, with Tillich tying it closely to our need for meaning and community. Capitalism, competitiveness, work insecurity, the expectation to perform on social media…all of these seem perfectly tailored to drive us mad.

The Ethics of Anxiety

On 24 April, Executive Director of The Ethics Centre, Dr Simon Longstaff, joined Neill Mitchell on 3AW to discuss the current state of our Ethical Infrastructure, and why we need to go back to the core purpose of the institutions at the core of our society.
