Can There Be Objective Morality Without God? | Nietzsche, Hume, Dostoyevsky, Sam Harris
In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into one of philosophy’s oldest and most divisive questions — is there such a thing as objective morality in a godless universe?
Featuring references to Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Hume, William Lane Craig, Sam Harris, Voltaire, and Christopher Hitchens, we explore the clash between moral relativism, utilitarianism, and objective ethics.
Topics Discussed:
• Hume’s Guillotine – The “Is-Ought” Problem
• Nietzsche’s “God is Dead” and Moral Nihilism
• Dostoyevsky’s Warning: “If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted”
• Sam Harris’ Moral Landscape and Its Logical Flaws
• Consequentialism, Human Exceptionalism, and Racism
• Why “Act as if God Exists” Might Still Be Necessary
Watch till the end — we explore how thinkers like Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, and Harris approached morality, and whether it can truly exist without God. What do you think?
