PODCAST

Sentientism

Jamie Woodhouse

We discuss the biggest questions: "what"s real?", "who matters?" and "how to make a better world?" with scientists, celebrities, activists, writers and philosophers. The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings." It"s a simple, yet radical, philosophy that"s grounded in reality (naturalistic epistemology) and has compassion for all sentient beings (mostly human and non-human animals). Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined. Find out more at
