    The Ethics of Giving Advice: There is no universal manual for life; we each bear responsibility for our own choices. Philosophy offers therapeutic value — helping people think clearly about life’s challenges. Ethical advice should stem from shared human vulnerability, not superiority. Rule of thumb: Don’t give unsolicited advice unless harm is being done. When asked, offer honest, thoughtful, and clear responses. Guest: Mark Kingwell, Professor of Philosophy, U Toronto.
