Is Philosophy Worthwhile?
Listen now
Description
Jared, Michael, and Raymond discuss the importance of philosophy. But what is philosophy? Why should people care about getting some philosophical education? They start with some basic definitions, and then our three hosts argue and complain about the rest. It seems like each host has an ax to grind in this episode. Jared gets frustrated with the self-help trend. Raymond is jealous of the social sciences. And all three of them agree that picking up a philosophy book from time to time would be beneficial for everyone. Seriously, join the discussion. How has philosophy changed your life? Can you recommend a life-changing philosophy text? Tweet us or comment. We look forward to hearing from you!  Join The Discussion: Twitter l Patreon l Website l Facebook
