Episode 102: Ep. 119 Humanity Part 3
from Philosophy? WTF?? · host Danny O'Donnell & Dr. Michael Alsford
This week join Danny and Mike as they subject subjectivity to the subjective gaze. Is one person's meat really another’s poison? Is there no accounting for taste? Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Is humanity really something absolute that establishes us as unique and inviolable or is it a sliding scale? A moveable feast of ingredients that is endlessly variable? Wrinkle your nose up in mild disgust as Mike brings dog poo to the table - is it really, objectively less lovely than, say, Marilyn Monroe, or is it just different strokes for different folks? Join us as we are thrown through the salon doors of existence and into the street of situatedness. All this and advice from Mike’s mum.
