About this video
This program is a conversation between Ramtin Bidars and Kaveh Behbahani about the idea of a "virtue-based criterion for distinction." The central question of the conversation is whether virtue-centered concepts can be used for discernment, judgment, and making distinctions, instead of relying on purely external or conventional criteria.
Within this framework, the discussion approaches the field of moral philosophy: what is virtue, what role does it play in distinguishing right from wrong, and how can it be applied to understanding the difference between positions, behaviors, or ways of living. Such an approach seeks to focus on character, moral education, and the quality of human judgment, rather than solely on outcomes or rules.
The significance of this conversation lies in connecting the theoretical questions of moral philosophy with a practical problem: how to make distinctions without reducing them to hasty, reductionist, or merely subjective judgments. From this perspective, the discussion is noteworthy for those interested in moral philosophy, virtue ethics, and critical thinking.
