Drunken Philosophy

There's a new hot little video game out on the market and maybe you've heard of it. It's called Everything and, wouldn't you know it, it's semi-related to philosophy! Specifically, the philosophy of the rascal guru himself Mr. Alan Watts. This week, Connor and Dan get in touch with the everything that exists inside every individual. They're stripping themselves of their egos and their submerging their consciousness into the ocean of the universe. It's no surprise that mushrooms are discussed at length.

As they say in New Jersey: Fo'Gettier 'bout it! Or something like. This week we're talking about Gettier Problems which are specific examples in epistemology (which Dan mispronounces) in which our definition of knowledge doesn't hold up. So we gotta get a new one! If that doesn't make sense, listen to the episode and learn something. Also, Connor and Dan swap snow stories and talk about terrible canned cocktails. If you like the show, tell your friends!

A very special episode of Drunken Philosophy.

Identity is a complex issue, and, obviously, two drunk white straight guys are the most equipped to talk about it. Kidding, of course. This week Connor and Dan look to the contemporary philosophy of Kwame Anthony Appiah and his thoughts on identity, race, nationality, and our lives as global citizens. Spoiler alert: It's about taking that middle road, baby!

Don't panic! This week, Connor and Dan dig into the humorous philosophy at play in Douglas Adams' celebrated science fiction farce, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. If you haven't read the book, you will be spoiled, but, then again, this isn't really a book that can be spoiled in any way. It's always a fun read and it has a lot to say about the ridiculous venture of philosophy.
