In a recent TED talk, Google in-house philosopher Damon Horowitz notes that we have more passion about the iPhone/Android debate than the distinctions between Kantian rationalism and Millsian utilitarianism.  Small wonder: there’s no version of Angry Birds for philosophy.

With his trademark entertaining style, Horowitz describes how these philosophical traditions are at the core of contemporary decisions about how we live, from data mining to criminal law.
