Ep55 - Evaluating Public Philosophy
from Philosophy Bakes Bread, Radio Show & Podcast Hosted by Dr. Eric Thomas Weber and Dr. Anthony Cashio
In this fifty-fifth episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast, Anthony and Eric talk about "Evaluating Public Philosophy," in an episode based upon their recently co-authored paper, titled "Lessons Learned Baking Bread." In this episode and in our paper, Anthony and Eric propose four criteria by which public philosophy can be evaluated: substance, accessibility, invitingness, and community building. Anthony and Eric presented this paper in the summer of 2017 at the Future of Philosophical Practice conference at UNC Asheville, in the beautiful hills of Asheville, North Carolina. We are grateful to Brian Butler for hosting a great event there, as well as for all the great feedback that we received at the event. In fact, that is where we met and interviewed Cole Nasrallah, our guest from episode 36, "Quality Philosophy for Everyone." While we were there, we also interviewed John Shook and Randy Auxier for episode 34, on "Saving American Culture in a Yurt." Listen for our "You Tell Me!" questions and for some jokes in one of our concluding segments, called "Philosophunnies."
