EP41: Dormant Family Values & Philosophy With Dr. Matt Flamm - a podcast by Daniel Flores

What are family values? Are they dormant? What has changed about family values over the years? What has changed about fatherhood? Is there a crisis of family values and fatherhood? Can philosophy help? What is philosophy? And what is philosophy good for? Dr. Matthew C. Flamm, professor and Department Chair of philosophy at Rockford University, joins me on the Dani Flo Podcast Video to discuss what has changed about family values and fatherhood in his lifetime and what philosophy is and what its good for.

Dr. Flamm answers and discusses:

- What’s it like being a father of a daughter for sixteen years?

- What is the difference for a father, between having a boy or a girl?

[Dr. Flamm asks me]

- What has changed about being a father in the last sixteen years?

- Did more men want to be fathers sixteen years ago versus today?

- Have family values gone to the wayside? Or have family values been re-defined?

What is the new definition?

- Is there a difference between the Religious right at a macro level versus the personal level?

- Is there a chance that family values are devolving?

- What is philosophy? What has philosophy said about parenthood?

- Why can’t science tell us how to be a good parent?

- Why can’t the soft sciences tell us how to be a good parent (i.e. psychology)?

- Is it possible to not know what philosophy is and still use it? Are philosophical questions not as important as what science and psychology can tell us?

- How do we know psychology or science can’t tell us what love is?

- Is it closed minded to think science can’t ever tell us what love is?

- Can philosophy be defined as: the wise way to do the things we care about?

- What advice do you have for young men that agree that family values are dormant?

- Why is philosophy worthwhile?

- Why is philosophy worth studying at the academic level?
