Nature for Nature’s Sake: Žižek, Singer & Sherman on Rethinking Human-Centered Morality

From ancient Greece to modern times, our moral frameworks have centered on human wants and needs. But critics warn this mindset puts the planet at risk: exploiting nature, mistreating other species, and now even eyeing nearby planets to do the same. Is it enough to safeguard nature only because it serves us, or do we owe the natural world protection in its own right? In this thought-provoking discussion, firebrand philosopher Slavoj Žižek, renowned ethicist Peter Singer, and Georgetown’s Nancy Sherman challenge the very notion of human-centered morality. Should we create a new ethical landscape where nature’s value stands apart from our desires? How do we measure nature’s well-being beyond our own perspective? Or is the belief that we can transcend our human goals ultimately an illusion—one that might jeopardize humanity itself? Hosted by public philosopher Jack Symes, this conversation dives deep into whether our moral focus should stay on human flourishing—or pivot towards nature for nature’s sake.
