Ep: 1898 Mark Schroeder - When Things Get Personal
from The Kathryn Zox Show
Getting along with people is hard. Understanding why can make all the difference. Mark Schroeder brings philosophy to the everyday challenges of human relationships, from political polarization and painful coming-out experiences to having your ideas ignored in a meeting—until a male colleague repeats them. He even explains why your partner still loads the dishwasher the "wrong" way, no matter how many times you've discussed it. Through engaging stories and practical ideas, he explores what it means to be a person—and how that shapes the way we understand, misunderstand, and relate to one another. He offers not only insight into why getting along can be so difficult, but hope for doing it better. He's Professor of Philosophy at USC and the founding director of the Conceptual Foundations of Conflict Project.
