(46) Phil Phails @ philosophy with Grant PottsPhilosophy Book Club series #9Book: Philosophy's Big Questions: Comparing Buddhist and Western ApproachesQuestion: WHAT DO WE OWE FUTURE GENERATIONS? Compassion and Future Generations: A Buddhist Contribution to an Ethics of Global InterdependenceIn this thought-provoking episode of Phil Phails @ Philosophy Book Club, Phil and Grant dive deep into some of life’s most challenging and timeless questions. From the spiritual idea of tikkun—the work of repairing the broken world—to confronting injustice and compassion in a fractured society, they explore how ancient wisdom and modern struggles intersect. They unpack the complex ethics of accountability, the nature of suffering, and the tension between personal responsibility and systemic failure.Along the way, they reflect on the difficult role of compassion—even for those who may seem undeserving—and the uneasy emotions around societal collapse, violent unrest, and what we owe future generations in a world that often seems to be breaking down.Finally, Phil and Grant look forward, considering how to continue their philosophical journey beyond dense academic texts to include accessible ideas from popular culture and leadership, setting the stage for more engaging, real-world discussions.This episode is a rich blend of philosophy, personal reflection, social critique, and plans for future explorations into meaning and ethics.#PhilPhails #PhilosophyBookClub #TikkunOlam #Compassion #SocialJustice #Ethics #FutureGenerations #PhilosophyAndLife #SystemicInjustice #Accountability #ViolentRevolAbout Grant PottsGrant Potts is a distinguished faculty member at Austin Community College, specializing in Philosophy, Religion, and Humanities.
