Episode 16 - Knowing Stuff - Socrates on knowledge, role model or arrogant jerk?Update: 2018-05-23
Description
Episode 16! We chat about Plato's Socrates and whether or not he's a good role model or just an arrogant jerk. We talk about claims to knowledge more broadly, in the context of science, religion, and everyday life.
If we don't think we have knowledge, will this make us apathetic? Is it therapeutic not to make claims about knowledge? What have different thinkers had to say about these things?
We talk about lots of stuff: the Dunning-Kruger effect; epistemic humility, deferring to the experts; climate change, oh my! Buddhism; reincarnation; is fear of death a species of arrogance? Meditation; transcending the self; flow states; free will; giving up the illusion of freedom in order to be truly free.....
Fallibilism, pragmatism, skepticism, etc. What are your epistemological foundations?
