Tiger Spotlight – Season 3, Episode 23 with Vivian Schroeder featuring Ethics Bowl Nationals Bound Caroline James and Owen Zuercher

In this episode, we sit down with two of our high school Ethics Bowl team members, heading for nationals in Chappel Hill, exploring how philosophy shapes their approach to complex moral dilemmas. From Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative to Aristotle's virtue ethics, the team delves into the philosophical frameworks that guide their reasoning in debates on real-world issues. Whether grappling with conflicts between individual rights and societal good or using Socratic questioning to dig deeper into ethical debates, the team showcases how classical philosophical ideas help them navigate the challenging terrain of modern ethics, aiming not just for victory but for a greater understanding of how we should live and act in the world.
