The Purr-fect Life: Cats, Kantian Ethics and Buddhism
Did Plato like cats? What is our duty to cats, per philosopher Immanuel Kant? Are cats enlightened beings? LISTEN NOW!!
It's Giving Tuesday!! Purr-fect timing as the episode we just released today on this here podcast - 6 Degrees of Cats - is all about giving - what we give our cats, and others! Which according to one Immanuel Kant, is in some ways our ethical duty. But...are humans the only ones with a “duty”? And how about cats? After a brief trip back to Greece, we turned to Buddhist philosophy for some insights and...well, you'll have to find out what we learned!! Listen now!!
Thank you to our wonderful returning experts Dr. Abigail Levin (Niagara University) and Dr. Janet Gyatso (Harvard Divinity School) for speaking to us in this very enlightening episode!!
And big shout out to our past guests Sterling “Trapking” Davis of Trapking Humane Cat Solutions, Amy No of The Five Kittens Rescues, Elza Ramadani of A.R.F., and all of those showing compassion to all in their communities, including especially cats!!
