‘The worst echo chamber is your own mind’: the unconventional life of philosopher Agnes Callard

Описание: Agnes Callard is a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago. Her latest book, Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life, is an argument about how we shouldn’t take cultural norms and rote-learned advice for granted. Instead, we need to talk with others, regularly, about the reasons for our actions. She joins Angus Colwell to discuss the book, and her life as a philosopher.
