Episode 142: Philosophy is Where You Find It! Introduction
from Philosophy? WTF?? · host Danny O'Donnell & Dr. Michael Alsford
This week join Mike and Danny as they scavenge through the philosophical skips and bins in search of discarded gold. Yes, we are up-cycling preowned and well used ideas that others have simply thrown out. I mean really, senseless waste. Look at this passing phrase from a 1940’s film - still plenty of good ontological wear in that. And here, see that? A sentence from Jane Austin that with a little invisible mending will continue to do solid epistemic service. It’s a disgrace what people chuck out these days, consumer philosophy, that’s what it is, nothing built to last. Ah well, at least we can do our bit for sustainable thought. Underground, overground Philosophising free, the philosopher of WTF are we, making good use of the ideas that we find, things that the everyday thinker leaves behind
