What is Philosophy?
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
How can philosophy be defined? Who can philosophize, and what roles do age, language, or geography play in one’s aptitude for philosophizing? When and where in planetary history did philosophy “begin” and will it someday “end”? To what extent should knowledge of past philosophy and philosophers determine how philosophy is done today?
In this episode, Dave approaches philosophy “in a broad way” and “in a general sort of sense,” drawing upon Aristotle’s identification of philosophy with wonder and defending his own idiosyncratic definition: philosophy as the art of asking questions.
