Description

Keith is joined by University of Michigan professor of philosophy Scott Hershovitz to discuss his new book, Nasty, Brutish, and Short. The book cuts a fresh path through the scary world of metaphysics and morals, using deft storytelling and a sharp wit to show what philosophy is; why kids are the best philosophers of all; how they can teach us to puzzle through revenge, rights, consciousness, the size of the universe and other daunting mysteries most grown-ups learn to ignore; and finally why the examined life is not only worth living but seriously fun.
