Dare to speak. Dare to be heard.

What We Believe

We believe in truth.

We believe in democracy.

And we believe in young people.

​

Most importantly, we believe that when brought together, all three have the power to change the world.

We used to pick a view that we thought would be popular and justify it, but now we spend months discussing what we truly believe in.

Transforming Ideas

 At the Ethics Bowl you learn how to have reasons for different views, and to take seriously the value behind other people's ways of thinking, without shouting them down, without oversimplifying everything.

What We Discuss

From geopolitics, to God's existence, to which side of the road is best to drive along, human beings disagree about almost everything. 

At the Ethics Bowl, we believe that disagreement is a gift, not a curse.

It's through disagreement (not consensus) that we discover new truths about ourselves, the world, and each other. 


With this in mind, we pick case topics that spark disagreement, curiosity, and maybe even controversy, as it is through these means that new discoveries are made and human insight is advanced. 

Below is but a sample of cases we have developed, something to wet your intellectual palette, and encourage you to read on.
