In this episode, I had the honor and the privilege to interview Dr. Rebekah Spera and Dr. David Peña-Guzmán, regarding their book: Professional Philosophy & Its Myths. Excellent book! I recommend you buy it and read it, and I recommend you ask your local library to purchase a copy also.

This episode is a recording of my invited paper presentation to the Ecstatic Naturalism Circle. Thinking in terms of "The Humanism Spectrum" makes discussing the relationship between humans and technology lucid, consistent, and coherent.

In this episode we discuss the philosophy involved in the True Crime case of Luigi Mangione and United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. A number of the documentaries regarding thiscase raise interesting philosophical questions without engaging in a philosophical discussion of the questions. 20/20 and TMZ, for example, ask questions regarding justice, violence, and social sentiment regarding corporations without attempting to provide a coherent philosophical account of the Mangione case. In this episode, we examine the Mangione case through arguably the most famous philosophical account of natural justice, put forth by Thomas Hobbes in his work Leviathan. Hobbes’ discussion of natural justice shines an interesting and provocative light on the case of Luigi Mangione..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.

In this episode we discuss the relation between Nihilism and Absurdism. It's not surprising that Absurdism is so popular in Postmodernity. However, I haven't found anyone on the information superhighway - including Wikipedia - who has correctly characterized Absurdism yet. By the end of this episode we'll see that Absurdism is performative. That is to say, Absurdism is performative Nihilism.Nihilism believes it gets reality right. Absurdism believes there is no such thing as "getting reality right." Performative Absurdism doesn't relate to reality with a meaning-making that seeks to be reality-based.In this episode, some topics addressed are: Sisyphus, Capitalism & Schizophrenia, Humanism, Trans-Humanism, and Post-Humanism, Solipsism, the Liar Paradox, Postmodernity, Nihilism, and Absurdism..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

In this episode we explore the question: Should we call ourselves philosophers? We'll consider the term "philosopher" from multiple points of view. We'll look at the origin of the term with Pythagoras; the logic of its traditional use stemming from Plato; and, we'll consider the use of the term "philosopher" in the context of Postmodernism..PPlease post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

According to Google, Dr. Robert Sapolsky is “An American Academic and Neuroscientist. He studied baboons for almost 30 years, starting in the late 1970s and continuing into the early 1990s, spending several months each year observing the same troop in the Serengeti plains of Africa."Coincidently, today is the exact day Dr. Sapolsky’s best-selling book was published last year, in October 17th 2023. His book is titled Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will.And, so, as we can tell immediately, Dr. Sapolsky’s book invokes what in philosophy is called the puzzle of determinism, also known as the puzzle of free will. So, in this podcast episode, we’re going to briefly consider Dr. Sapolsky’s Determinism from five (5) points of view. I’ve named them the following: (1) The Ice Bath Challenge (2) Descartes and Modern Philosophy, (3) The Question of Autonomy, (4) Will power & the UFC, and (5) the social implications of belief in determinism..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

In this episode we explore the correct context for understanding Kant’s relation to the historical period known as “the Enlightenment” or “the Age of Reason.” On the one hand, Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason may be understood as “critiquing reason to make room for faith.” On the other hand, the Method of Kant’s Transcendental Philosophy reveals Spirit as the condition for the possibility of the unity of Mind and Body. We’ll understand these insights by discussing what has been called “the Homeric Contest” to complete Kant’s “System of Transcendental Philosophy.” The contest refers to the competition that may be witnessed in the writings of Fichte, Novalis, Hölderlin, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Hegel. Understanding this historical contextualization of Kant’s philosophy makes it much easier to see that contemporary Postmodern criticisms of Kant’s philosophy are not actually criticisms of Kant’s philosophy. Rather, they are criticisms of Descartes’ philosophy. Thus, Kant’s philosophy is not the problem; Kant’s philosophy is the solution to the problem(s) with Descartes’ philosophy..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

Seemingly everyone wants to be "authentic"! But, what does that mean? Contemporary existential philosophy provides us with different understandings that can be generally called, "French" and "German." The former associated with Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre and the latter with Martin Heidegger. Which resonates more with you?

This is the first in a series of episodes discussing Kant, specifically his relation to Descartes, Aquinas, and the philosophically-correct historical context of his Critique of Pure Reason. The most common mistake - by far - we encounter when listening to Postmodern Academics discuss Kant is that they are not discussing Kant, they are discussing Descartes. Dr. Jordan Peterson, Bishop Barron, Dr. Stephen Hicks, and (now even) Ben Shapiro all make the mistake discussed in this episode.

Join me in this episode, where we discuss a "History & Systems" approach to philosophy. The term "paradigm," as we use it here, comes from Thomas Kuhn's celebrated book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Using paradigms to think about philosophies is not difficult, though it is very high level. This episode should help you organize philosophy in your thinking, and it pairs well with the episodes from July 4th, 2024 on "the architectonic structure" of philosophy..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

Join me in this episode, where we discuss one of the most important ideas in the history of philosophy: Apperception. The term was invented by Leibniz to characterize Locke's criticism of Descartes, and the term reaches its apex in the thinking of Immanuel Kant. Thinking through the philosophical puzzle of apperception is helpful for clarifying one's metaphysics/ontology, in general, and one's philosophical psychology, in particular..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

The "Early Modern" period of philosophy is one of the most interesting periods in all of the history of philosophy. In this Episode, we discuss the evolution of the concept of space from 1640 to 1790, listening in as these philosophers - Descartes, Locke, Leibniz, Hume, and Kant - critique and develop philosophical theories of space. Albert Einstein himself praised Immanuel Kant for the "Kantian Copernican Revolution" that opened the door for quantum thinking..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

If we can recognize "hinge points" - paradigmatic differences - between philosophies (for example, regarding their ontologies or soteriologies), it makes philosophizing about them much easier. This episode considers the difference between Existentialism and Stoicism, specifically regarding Amor Fati. I believe Nietzsche deserves the credit for the idea of Amor Fati. This episode gives my reasons why.Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.The Existentialism Book:http://shepherd.com/book/what-is-existentialism-vol-i.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

In this Episode, we provide an abbreviated answer to the question: What is Existentialism? The majority of this episode is a paraphrase of my two-volume set titled, What Is Existentialism? Most people make the mistake of thinking that Sartre's philosophy is the answer to the question: What is Existentialism? But Sartre's philosophy represents only one variety of Existentialism. Famously Heidegger disagreed with Sartre, even though Sartre's book Being & Nothingness was heavily influenced by Heidegger's Being & Time. Of course, any answer to the question "What is Existentialism?" would also need to take, at least, the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche into account. Since the 1940s scholars (including those found in the Cambridge Companion to Existentialism) have said there is no such thing as "Existentialism." After hearing this episode, you should have a pretty good idea why they're wrong..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.The Existentialism Book:http://shepherd.com/book/what-is-existentialism-vol-i.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

Join me in this episode for a discussion of one of Nietzsche's most celebrated ideas: Amor Fati. This episode directly responds to the previous two episodes regarding Nietzsche's idea of the Eternal Return. For Nietzsche, Amor Fati represents the "eternal confirmation and seal" of what he describes throughout his writings - especially in Twilight of the Idols, Ecce Homo, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and the Birth of Tragedy - as an apotheosis into the "Dionysian Worldview.".Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?

Nietzsche's Three Metamorphoses of Spirit have become very popular among those who seek to understand Nietzsche's philosophizing. In this Episode, we discuss the Three Metamorphoses of Spirit and the way in which they function as a heuristic for understanding Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra and his philosophy in general.

Ever wonder where the idea of "platonic love" comes from? In this Episode, we discuss the celebrated passage from Plato's dialogue the Symposium known as "the ladder of love" or the scala amoris. In the passage, Plato describes a drinking party, where the guests take turns giving praise for love, or more specifically, "the god of love." In the middle of the dialogue, it is Socrates' turn to give his praising account of love, and, in doing so, Socrates recounts his discussion with the (oracle-like) prophetess Diotima; a discussion that tells the story of the scala amoris, the ladder of love..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?
