Ever wanted to learn philosophy from drunk people? Us, neither. Here's a collection of mini-episodes as Connor and the Two Joes attempt to teach some of the fundamental ideas and thinkers in the history of philosophy, from the Ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment and beyond. Originally improvised audio tests, these conversations are some of the earliest we had, back when we were trying to be professorial and educational. After recovering them from an old hard drive, they are lost no more. Hopefully you'll share in our passion and interest as you follow us from insightful dialogue to drunken mishaps. The conversations featured in this episode are:
0:25 - A Very Brief Introduction to René Descartes' Meditations. Topics covered: "I think therefore I am", Cartesian doubt, Cartesian dualism. 6:15- Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions & Paradigm Theory. Topics covered: Paradigm shifts, Scientism, The Copernican Revolution, Normal science v. revolutionary science, (We're not scientists). 30:40 - Plato's Republic & Why We Read it. Topics covered: Socratic dialogues, Thrasymachus, The Cave, the Forms, Contextual reading and why philosophy is important to read. Edited by Connor. Audio & music mastering / production by Nye James. Jingles recorded by Nye (guitars) & Connor (harmonica)
