Democracy vs. Oligarchy (Click title to play podcast)
If religion is not able to provide justification for ethical principles, where can we turn? In this podcast I will begin a line of analysis showing why universal law is the only reasonable way to ground ethical principles and, therefore, to understand what democracy means. I begin by distinguishing between democracy and several other forms of government. Oligarchy is the form many people prefer in the United States and throughout the world.
