Website: https://philipgoffphilosophy.com/
Book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Purpose-Universe-Philip-Goff/dp/0198883765
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Goff's book about whether there's a purpose of the universe. Goff believes there's some middle ground between traditional theists and atheists in addressing this fundamental question.

Raffael Fasel is Yates Glazebrook Fellow, College Assistant Professor, and Director of Studies in Law (Part IB) at Jesus College, and Affiliated Lecturer at the Cambridge Law Faculty.
Website: https://www.law.cam.ac.uk/people/academic/rn-fasel/77852
Book: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/more-equal-than-others-9780198907404?cc=gb&lang=en&
Summary:In this interview, we discuss animal rights, the distinction between things and persons, and the species-specific approach that Fasel proposes. Essentially, Fasel proposes the Species Membership Approach (SMA). According to the SMA, legal rights and similar entitlements should be granted to animals based on the species to which they belong, not their individual capacities. An added benefit to this approach is that it protects against the weakening of human rights for humans who are not persons.

Philip Haig Nitschke is an Australian humanist, author, former physician, and founder and director of the pro-euthanasia group Exit International.
Website: https://www.exitinternational.net/about-exit/dr-philip-nitschke/
Summary:In this interview, we discuss why Dr. Nitschke is supportive of assisted suicide. Essentially, he believes suicide is every rational person's right. Nitschke is so supportive of suicide that he invented a suicide pod that people can 3D print. We also discuss hard cases—euthanasia in the case of infants, people with advanced dementia, and psychiatric patients. Interestingly, Nitschke is more supportive of assisted suicide than euthanasia because he thinks patients should take responsibility for their own decision to die.

Professor Chandran Kukathas is Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Political Science at School of Social Sciences, Singapore Management University.
Website: https://faculty.smu.edu.sg/profile/chandran-kukathas-1946
Book: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691189680/immigration-and-freedom
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Kukathas's book, Immigration and Freedom, in which he argues that while immigration is often seen as a danger to Western liberal democracies because it threatens to undermine their fundamental values, most notably freedom and national self-determination, the greater threat comes not from immigration but from immigration control. We also discuss the legitimate concerns that some citizens have about immigrants receiving governmental assistance, the lowering of wages, the change in culture, assimilation, and the role of xenophobia in anti-immigrant sentiments.

Kevin Yuill is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Sunderland.
Website: https://twitter.com/historykev
Book: https://www.amazon.com/Assisted-Suicide-Liberal-Humanist-Legalization/dp/1137286296
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Yuill's argument against the legalization of assisted suicide. First, he believes we have a misconception of the dying process that overexaggerates the suffering that most people fear. Second, he believes legalization will pressure people to end their own lives in order to avoid being a burden on others. And third, he believes that we ought to prevent people from dying when we can because, except in extreme situations, we should assume that being alive is a good thing.

Article: https://psyche.co/ideas/the-achievement-society-is-burning-us-out-we-need-more-play
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Stubb's argument that our capitalist society's focus on achievement leads to burnout and that we need structural change to enable us to incorporate more play into our lives. We discuss how best to define achievement and play, and why a socialist society could better allow for more autotelic activity—that is, activity that is done for its own sake.

Alex Guerrero is a Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.
Website: http://www.alexguerrero.org/Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lottocracy-Democracy-Elections-Alexander-Guerrero/dp/0198938985
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Guerrero's proposal for a lottocracy, which is a political system where the policymakers are picked via a lottery and would serve 3-year terms. Guerrero argues this would be better than a democracy with elections because it removes the need to raise money to get reelected. It also allows the policymakers to focus on long-term issues that are normally ignored in an election system where candidates must worry about the next election cycle.

Eric Mathison is professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
Website: https://www.ericmathison.ca/
Summary:In this interview, Mathison proposes a non-medical model of assisted dying. The current, dominant model requires patients to get approval from healthcare providers before getting access to assisted suicide and euthanasia. This is problematic for a couple of reasons. First, there's a theoretical problem - namely, it's paternalistic because it requires a healthcare professional to be convinced that the patient is suffering intolerably. And second, there's a practical problem because there aren't enough healthcare professionals who provide the service. In response to these problems, Mathison believes that (1) the only requirement that a patient needs to meet is that they are making an autonomous choice, and (2) that non-medical personnel should be able to assist in their deaths.

David Boonin is a philosophy professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. Professor Boonin’s interests lie in the areas of applied ethics, ethical theory, and the history of ethics.
Website: https://www.colorado.edu/philosophy/people/faculty/david-boonin
Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Wrong-Ethics-Posthumous-Harm/dp/0198842104
Summary:In this interview, we discuss Boonin's claim that the dead can be harmed. He takes a desire-satisfactionist stance on the nature of well-being, which essentially means that our well-being consists of getting our desires fulfilled. Since we can have desires toward things after we die, it follows that those desires can be frustrated after we die. This means that when said desires are frustrated, our well-being states when we are alive are negatively affected.
