Is Moral Certainty Possible? (W.M. Briggs) 8/13/26
About this episode
We welcome back William M. Briggs, known as Statistician to the Stars, to take up the question of whether there are things we can know for certain about right and wrong. How do faith, reason, and logic help us to spot the difference between a sound moral argument and a persuasive one that is simply incorrect?
