Is good only found in the practical outcome of one's actions?
What is good for one is not good for another - the suicide bomber and the pacifist have very different notions of the good. Does this mean there is no ultimate meaning to good and evil? Is good only found in the practical outcome of one's actions? Or might it be the desire to escape the limitations of human action by striving for something ultimate- even if this cannot be achieved?
Paul Boghossian: NYU Professor of Philosophy and author of Fear of Knowledge. He also served on Gordon Brown's Global Citizenship Commission.
Michael Ruse: Philosopher of science and leading expert on the relationship between science and religion
