Agnes Callard on the Theory of Everything - a podcast by Mercatus Center at George Mason University
from 2018-04-11T11:59:12
Is a written dialogue the best way to learn from philosopher Agnes Callard?
If so, what does that say about philosophy? Is Plato’s Symposium about love or mere intoxication? If good people lived forever, would they be less bored than the bad people? Should we fear death? Is parenting undertheorized? Must philosophy rely on refutation? Should we read the classics? Is Jordan Peterson’s moralizing good? Should we take Socrates at his word? Is Hamlet a Cartesian? Are we all either Beethoven or Mozart people? How do we get ourselves to care about things we don’t yet care about? To what should we aspire?
