The winter holidays are here, which means 'tis the season of giving to friends and family as well as various charities and causes. For many people, it's also a time of year to reflect on moral choices beyond giving money. So for this month's playlist, we're focusing on episodes that explore philosophical questions about goodness and giving.
And if you'd like to give the gift of thought this season, consider buying a subscription to Philosophy Talk, either for yourself or for some philosophy-loving friends or family. With nearly 600 episodes on topics ranging from popular culture to our most deeply-held beliefs about science, morality, and the human condition, there's something for every deep thinker! You can also support Philosophy Talk by making a donation through the Stanford Make a Gift website.
