Philosophy 101: Introduction to Philosophy

Abe Singer on M&M

Truth and untruth with philosopher and author Jody Azzouni!

Justin E.H. Smith joins us to answer: why is the world the way it is?

TWO philosophers for the price of a single podcast: Brett Sherman talks to us about speech acts, and Laura Papish about consent. *CONTENT WARNING*: the Kukla article and the second part of the podcast touch on sexual consent and violations thereof.  You are not at all obliged to read that article or listen to that part of the podcast, and there are secondary readings that just deal with philosophy of language more generally if you want to explore that further.

This week, we finish our unit on epistemology by talking to Justin Steinberg about Cartesian and Spinozan belief systems.
