New episode day! We've been asked what humans will invent in the future and we've decided that some technology for pregnancy would be a fine idea. It turns out loads of philosophers agree.

Preserve that child-like spark by continuing some feats from your childhood. Pick one, and let it be a hobby to reinstall in your mind the joys and triumphs you have experience in youth. It is these memories that are man’s North Star when lost among the seas.

The FitMA team is (still) looking for a PhD-candidate with good Latin, a philosophical background, and a healthy curiosity for medieval manuscripts and digital editions. Don't procrastinate to apply! We might be looking for you!

Many of us fantasise about being delegated by God for higher purpose and forget purpose is something we also delegate to ourselves.

We often see reason as providing a solid basis for our theories. Some have even imagined that reason alone can deliver truth. But far from being a stable foundation, critics of reason argue that it is equally a vehicle of destruction iai.tv/video/reason... #reason #truth #destruction #PhilosophySky

I once thought of philosophy as a kind of grand conceptual orchestration; an intellectual prophylactic that ensures sound practice and conduct. This seems to be the dominant view in the discipline today.

The extremes of anything can destroy you - poverty or extreme wealth. We all love to think we would know exactly how to handle either but in truth you only know by going through the fire.
