Is Morality Made Up?

Is everything you believe about right and wrong just an accident of where you were born? Or is morality a universal truth waiting to be discovered?

And if you dedicate your life to answering these questions, how would you feel if one of the greatest moral problems of our time unfolded around you?

David Enoch is a world-leading ethicist and philosopher of law. He also happens to be an Israeli who's vocally critical of the Israeli government. David is a professor at Oxford University and holds a chair in the Philosophy of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has spent time in a military jail in Israel for refusing to serve in the West Bank and been arrested for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu.

David joins Josh to discuss how we know what's right and wrong, how politics should react to our moral conclusions, and how to judge Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, the war in Gaza, and the international law that’s meant to govern both.
