Let us know what moral dilemmas you’re grappling with. You could be featured in the next Your Mileage May Vary column!
Your Mileage May Vary is an advice column offering you a unique framework for thinking through your ethical dilemmas and philosophical questions.
Typical advice columns usually give you a single answer — the underlying premise being that there is an objectively “right” answer to the complex moral questions that life throws at us. Vox correspondent Sigal Samuel doesn’t buy that premise. So she reimagined the genre.
Your Mileage May Vary is based on value pluralism, the idea that each person has multiple values that are equally valid but that sometimes conflict with each other. When values clash, dilemmas arise. This advice column won’t pretend to give you the one “right” answer; it’ll show you how to find your own. To get there, we'll see how wise people — from ancient philosophers to spiritual thinkers to modern scientists — have thought about these values and conflicts between them. Check out previous columns here.
Shayla Love will be filling in for Sigal Samuel as the writer of this column while Sigal is on parental leave.
