This week, we present our first-ever Unorthodox live show, which we recorded at the Slifka Center at Yale University. We discuss Ben Carson’s comments about gun control and the Holocaust, plus two other audience-selected News of the Jews items.
Our Jewish guest is Shelly Kagan, Clark Professor of Philosophy at Yale, who inadvertently became the most popular foreign professor in China thanks to online videos of a course he teaches called “Death.” He talks about his reputation as a notoriously tough grader, and what it means that he’s a “non-welfarist consequentialist.”
