Description
Desirism is a theory of moral value that exists in the physical universe, and does not depend on mysterious things like intrinsic value, intrinsic virtue, categorical imperatives, hypothetical contracts, or divine commands.

Entertaining and exciting
If you are interested in what is moral or what morality *is* then you should listen to this podcast.
You will be among the first to learn about a new theory of morality.
How cool is that?
The presentation is enjoyable.
The pace is relaxing.
The presenters are so likeable.
If you are not religious you might adopt desirism as your own theory of morality.
If you ARE religious you might find desirism more challenging than other non-theistic understandings of morality.

Best philosophy podcast out there.
Very entertaining. Fyfe's Desire Utilitarianism is presented in a clear way, which is great since ethics is a highly complex subject in philosophy. Can't wait for the next episode. :D
Engaging and intellectually stimulating!
Love the show, very well produced and I can’t wait for the next one!
