Episode 2: Chapter 1 "The Reach of Explanations"
from ToKCast · host Brett Hall
This is the first episode in a series on David Deutsch's groundbreaking work "The Beginning of Infinity". I read some passages from Chapter 1 "The Reach of Explanations" and make some explanatory remarks and other comments. This podcast is intended as a companion to the book. Feel free to ask me questions at www.bretthall.org
What this episode covers
This is a podcast primarily about the work of philosopher and physicist David Deutsch and related matters (such as Popperian epistemology). I read from and comment upon the books ”The Beginning of Infinity” & ”The Fabric of Reality” (both by Deutsch), ”The Science of Can & Can’t” (by Deutsch’s collegue Marletto) and ”Rationality” by Pinker (so far). In addition I make stand alone episodes about topics like resources, environmentalism, economics, science, philosophy, epistemology (especially explanations) and reason broadly.
