Intro to Suffering Focused Ethics

How bad can suffering get?

If it's bad enough, should we prioritize reducing it over everything else, even amazing things like human happiness?

Join us at Bombay Food Junkies for a talk centered on these questions. After introducing the main ideas of suffering-focused ethics, a philosophy that believes we should prioritize reducing intense suffering, we'll open up the table for discussion by all. This is compatible with views expressed in Buddhism and other mainstream religious and philosophical views, just with an extra emphasis on the ethics of suffering reduction itself.

No philosophy background required — just an open mind and curiosity about how our ethical views can shape how and who we help.
