Free Will is a Scam!

This week we discuss Appiah's In My Father's House chapters 1-5, and assorted other works by and about Appiah.

The theme for this week (and next) is Feminism, and we read several brilliant works, including:
Luce Irigaray - When Our Lips Speak Together
Julia Kristeva - Powers of Horror (Chapter One - Approaching Abjection)
and discussed several more:
Delouze and Guattari - A Thousand Plateaus
Irigaray - The Forgetting of Air in Martin Heidegger
Enjoy!

This week we dig into the first 7 chapters of the classic proto-Daoist text, the Zhuangzi, named for Master Zhuang, or Zhuang Zhou. We worked primarily from Brook Ziporyn's excellent translation. Some other texts mentioned, and also worth reading are listed below, linked to their publisher's sites. Buy them! But not from Amazon.

Welcome to Free Will is a Scam! A new Philosophy podcast, in which I (mawkishly? Tepidly?) attempt to stay out of a fight with my brother, and we both defer to the better judgment of my sister-in-law.
We are all teachers, and we love to talk with each other. So, we also hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did!
Additionally, as I made no attempt to acquire copyright approval to use the scant recordings that exist of Nietzsche musical oeuvre, here is some lovely violin and piano music from Loretta Altman, who seems to be Nietzsche's champion in the recording world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2afrV4f-9EI
