Advancing the Common Good
We've been creating exceptional ethics education experiences since 2007.
The Prindle Institute for Ethics equips people to deepen their understanding of different moral perspectives and to think critically about the inescapable ethical issues of our time. Through ethics education resources and interactive experiences, we bring communities together to fully engage with the ethical dimensions of their lives.

Barry Lam: The Case for Discretion
Modern life runs on rules—some helpful, some… not so much. In this episode, Alex talks with philosopher Barry Lam (UC Riverside) about his new book Fewer Rules, Better People: The Case for Discretion. Lam makes a bold claim: sometimes fewer rules can actually make us better. With sharp insights and real-world stories, he walks us through why giving people more wiggle room might lead to fairer, more humane outcomes. But it’s not all freewheeling freedom—the conversation also digs into the risks of bias and the need for accountability when discretion takes the wheel.
