Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Stephen Morris. He's associate professor of philosophy at the College of Staten Island slash Cooney. And today we're going to talk about his book, Moral Damages, The Case for Abolishing Morality.

So Dr. Morris, there it is. Dr. Morris, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one.

It's a pleasure to meet with you, Ricardo. So before we get into moral abolitionism, which is the main topic of your book, how do people commonly approach and think about morality? It's a great question. It's a very complex question. There's no one single way that that people across the world and across time think about morality.
