Philosophy Now: The Good Samaritan principle

From Nights, 9:25 pm on 13 March 2025

Every month on Nights, University of Waikato senior lecturer in philosophy Dan Weijers unpacks some of life's big issues, whether it's love, death, happiness, or if it's morally right to keep a pet goldfish.

Tonight Dan is exploring whether or not we should be compelled to be Good Samaritans, and should the law require us to help those in need.
