14: ThoughtExperiments, Election Day, and Writing
Philosophy: A Survival Guide
11/16/12 • -1 min
Mike and Tones focus on a theme of balancing the narrow scope of the concrete vs. the wide scope of fundamentals by talking about the 2012 Presidential election and Thought Experiments. While the election showed the dire need of philosophic thought in political campaigns, Thought Experiments show the value in bringing ideas down to the concrete level for better understanding. We also discuss if philosophy has a role in writing.

Ep9: Aesthetics
Philosophy: A Survival Guide

Mike and Tones discuss philosophy’s role in Aesthetics and why anyone should care enough to think about art. We also argue if Aesthetics should cover non-art within its definition. This finally leads us to emphasize the role ideas and values play in artists’ creations and our subsequent appreciation of their works.
