Ep.80 - Inbetweeners - So, just checking, what is Philosophy (and why do I need some?)

In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, The Occupational Philosophers discuss “What is Philosophy”, after a teenager asked Simon that very question and he struggled a little to answer! He set off to explore and their conversation together highlights just what he uncovered: How ChatGPT can help Philosophy sound cool to a 14-year old teenager Some definitions that help get to the essence of what Philosophy is all about Just how little John and Simon know….rock on Socrates…! The 7 main branches of Philosophy How Philosophy helps challenge beliefs, assumptions and ‘sacred cows’  Philosophy promotes critical thinking and new lenses to view problems and opportunities How organisations can adopt philosophical thinking to improve creativity, collaboration and innovation The fact that Simon and John cannot pronounce ‘Epistemology’... FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a little kickstart to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.   References: https://www.philosophy-foundation.org/ https://1000wordphilosophy.com/2020/10/10/philosophy/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Warburton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Deleuze   Say Hello: www.occupationalphilosophers.com Their day jobs: JOHN: https://www.bowlandconsulting.com/ SIMON: www.simonbanks.com.au SIMON SHOWREEL: https://youtu.be/YZQdJI6qGvg
