About this video
The question of ethical life in unethical structures is a central inquiry at the intersection of moral philosophy and political science. Human beings do not live solely by their individual choices; they are situated within institutions, laws, power relations, and structures that may push them toward compromise, silence, or participation in injustice.
In this program, Hossein Dabbagh, a researcher in moral philosophy, and Javad Heydari, a researcher in political science, engage in a conversation with Mohammad Reza Kadivar on the relationship between individual agency and social structures. The central issue is how, in unethical situations, the boundary of responsibility, the possibility of resistance, the danger of complicity, and the meaning of ethical action should be understood.
This conversation is significant for those interested in moral philosophy, politics, justice, and social life, as it demonstrates that ethics is not merely an individual recommendation but is intertwined with institutions, power, the real possibilities of choice, and our responsibility toward the collective condition.
