Description

This episode is an interview with Warwick Philosophy's Barney Walker. We discuss how his interest in philosophy began, what it is to be a good or even great philosopher, how the difference between knowledge and true belief matters and the subject matter of philosophy of mind. 


Listen to this episode for an exploration of questions like:


What is a great philosopher and who actually was one? 


How should we approach the questions about the nature of inquiry that arise from Plato's Meno?


What is philosophy of mind, and why does it lead to such counter-intuitive theories?


This interview was conducted and edited by Toby Tremlett
