Show Notes
I've been disappointed with my reading of philosophy books over the last year, so here are the reasons why.In Episode #326 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my loose definition of philosophy and philosophers, why I came in with high expectations, whether you should be able to read a book as a stand alone, linking deep ideas back to reality, Interlingua and how a lot of philosophy can be semantics, a list of all the books I read over this last year and some thoughts on being too dumb to understand.A big thanks to TheBigCheese, Rastacalavera, This Is The Future and Joey Broad Shoulders for supporting the show. A handsome bunch of individuals!As always, we hope you enjoy.
