What is an action? How do actions differ from bodily movements? BTW also: only actions are praise and blameworthy, or can you be culpable for. #philosophy #action #actiontheory #culpability

#stitch with @secular_pro_life No, if you go into a coma, you don't become much like an embryo or early fetus: how coma patients who can wake up is of little to no relevance to abortion: bad analogy. #abortion #prochoice #prolife #ethics #philosophy #apologetics #badanalogies #criticalthinking #bioethics

has anyone ever done anything to you that was wrong or unethical? #ethics #philosophy #philosophytiktok

Replying to @nathan.nobis When does "life" begin? It depends on what you mean by "life." BTW, I have an article at Salon about this topic: see the LinkTree. #abortion #prochoice #prolife #meaning #arguments #whatdoyoumean #philosophy #philosophytiktok #ambiguity

Don't be a "pro-choice psychopath"! :) Don't rely just on autonomy! Engage personhood! #abortion #prochoice #prolife #autonomy #bodilyautonomy #personhood #persons #analogies

Replying to @ihatetiktok81 ethical = moral, unethical= immoral. same concepts! #ethics #philosophy #criticalthinking #morality #teaching

Does or will studying ethics make you a more ethical person? Maybe, maybe not! #ethics #philosophy #studyphilosophy #studyethics #philosophytiktok #teachingphilosophy #teachingethics #criticalthinking

For any important social issue, there are fools on your "side." And there are fools on the other "sides." It's important to engage the fools, but it's more important to not pretend that what those fools say represents the best case for their side or your's. Be fair & honest. #fairness #honesty #arguments #polarization #debates

Almost any belief could be reasonable or rational . . but it isn't, due to the evidence that most people actually have. Rationality or reasonableness depends on your evidence, which varies between individuals. #philosophy #knowledge #epistemology #theoryofknowledge #rationality #reason #reasonable #philosophytiktok

Replying to @nathan.nobis "Abortion kills humans." True? False? Or 'it depends on what you mean'? #abortion #prochoice #prolife #ethics #bioethics #abortionkills @SPL

Replying to @nathan.nobis to be a person or to have rights you don't have to have responsibilities or be responsible: moral patients need not be moral agents.

When do people not know what they claim to know? What is knowledge anyway? #philosophy #philosophytiktok #knowledge #epistemology
