Harry Shearer Narrates Animated Ethics Series on Kant, Hume, and the Trolley Problem

Harry Shearer narrates a series of animated philosophy videos on ethics, part of the BBC and Open University's "A History of Ideas" series. The videos cover Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative, utilitarianism via the Trolley Problem, and David Hume's is/ought divide. Scripts are by philosopher Nigel Warburton, with illustrations by Cognitive. The series contrasts Kant's absolute ethics with utilitarian thought experiments like Philippa Foot's Trolley Problem and Peter Singer's global obligations. Hume's critique of deriving moral principles from facts is also explored. The videos were originally published in 2015.
