S3:5 EP30: The Women Who Revolutionized Ethics: Interview with Benjamin Lipscomb

^{On this episode, Katie discusses the fascinating philosophical contributions of four women philosophers: one a zealous Catholic convert, one a bohemian artist, one an upperclass academic, and one a 'jack of all trades' with a special interest in biology and animals. What did they all have in common? A shared desire for Truth in an age of dogmatic relativism. As they discussed and debated the huge ethical questions of the day (the Holocaust, etc.) they each reached toward a comprehensive understanding of the human person as ethically whole - able to be discussed and understood. Katie has a conversation with Benjamin Lipscomb, the author of the new book, "The Women are Up to Something: How Elizabeth Anscombe, Phillippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Irish Murdoch Revolutionized Ethics." Stay tuned to the end for some beautiful poetry and music recommendations.}
