EP 43: Why You Should Study Philosophy
Som (Master Sam), a philosopher and thinker, returns to explore the relevance of studying philosophy. He argues that philosophy enhances our understanding of knowledge and shapes our perception of facts. Listeners will learn about the importance of curiosity, the relativity of time, and how to discern between consensus and truth in science. Som humorously introduces 'Psalmism,' while Pat shares insights from Aristotle and Aquinas, underscoring moral frameworks in a complex world. They encourage diving into philosophical texts to form your own worldview.
