Episode 138: How to Build a Philosophy Part 4
from Philosophy? WTF?? · host Danny O'Donnell & Dr. Michael Alsford
This week join Mike and Danny as they dare to tug at the knicker elastic that alone holds up the underwear of Reality. Will the boxer shorts of infinity be found to be adequately supported or will we be left with faces scarlet with shame, our ontologies around our ankles? What, exactly, covers up our philosophical modesty? Are our epistemological private parts tastefully held in place by the comforting infrastructure of a flexible metaphysic or are they left swinging in the breeze, the objects of public ridicule and derision? Metaphysics, woolly thinking Doctor? Perhaps, but very comforting when worn next to the skin.
