Les mer Daily 15: Philosophy to Welcome the Day

A deep and thoughtful life is a life well lived. Explore philosophy, and think in the company of others. Our podcast is simple. Each episode, we 'zoom in' to two paragraphs from a philosophical work. It could be anything: From Plato, to Freud, to Homer, to Proust! Our goal is to give you the tools to think about the paragraph and ideas yourself, to de-ivory-tower-ify it, rather than provide a simple summary. Think of it like a morning mental workout. New episodes every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Kant on Respect for the (Moral) Law

Today’s excerpt comes from Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals.

Stocker on Ethical Schizophrenia

Today's excerpt comes from a paper titled ‘The Schizophrenia of Modern Ethical Theories’ by Michael Stocker. One quick correction: though Socrates famously denies one can do what he knows to be worse, many philosophers think otherwise!

Enkelt å finne frem nye favoritter og lett å navigere seg gjennom innholdet i appen

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.

Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
