When we judge whether someone did something good or bad, should we care more about what they meant to do or what actually happened? A surprise birthday party that goes wrong, a soccer goal scored by accident, and a classic thought experiment about two kids and a broken plate all put the question to the test. The episode lays out strong reasons on both sides before arriving at a nuanced answer kids can use in their own lives.

What is Not Just Because - Philosophy?

Philosophy for kids around 7 to 10, using stories and everyday questions to explore fairness, truth, kindness, choices, and how to think clearly together.
