Ep9: Aesthetics

05/14/12 • -1 min

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.

Ep.10: Socrates in THEAETETUS

Mike and Tones begin their discussion on Socrates (to be continued) by concentrating on Plato’s Theaetetus. They don’t get in too deep in regards to the epistemological content of the book but rather use it to examine the character of Socrates and to discuss his role as one of the most important philosophers... EVER. Tones also discusses a rare trip to the movie theater and compares/contrasts The Avengers to Titanic and other disaster films as it ties in well to Episode 9’s Aesthetics discussion.
