Philosophy in the Wild: Aaron Simmons

Text us your questions!Philosopher Aaron Simmons joins us to discuss his new book Camping with Kierkegaard. It's all about living life in a way that is "worthy of your finitude," avoiding becoming an "asshole capitalist," and learning how to value the things in your life with the help of folks like Kierkegaard and Simone de Beauvoir. We discuss living faithfully, being present, living on purpose toward something you've chosen, and a lot more. There's a LOT to unpack in this one, and a couple interesting tangents that didn't make it into the final cut, so Patreon supporters, look out for those.The whiskey we tasted in this episode is the Fercullen Irish Whiskey Blend from Bardstown Bourbon Company.Content note: this episode contains some mild profanity. But it's philosophy, so it's fine.To skip the alcohol tasting, go to 6:46. You can find the transcript for this episode here.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.
