Rationally Lavishing
I'm a big fan of the Rationally Speaking blog, but I worried that it wouldn't translate to audio. I worried the arguments would become jumbled without having them laid out on the page - Will I have to take notes? I haven't been this pleasantly wrong about something in quite some time. Massimo and Julia play off each other very well, similar enough to engage in conversation but different enough to perpetuate argument. I love that they set up future debates on the first episode - my hopes are with you Massimo, but my fears of personal inadequacy lie with you Julia and your assertion that a philosopher "has no expertise." I love that Rationally Speaking doesn't shy from discussing complex ideas like Godel's Incompleteness and Hume's take on the passions, and at the same time avoids trotting these concepts out like lesson plans. Instead they manage to frame them within the context of more broad (or would it be more narrow?) conversations. In conclusion, I just want to say how much I enjoy hearing skeptical conversation taking place under a philosophical schema. I enjoy many skeptical podcasts and blogs, but I finally have one that speaks my language.Read full review »
