Episode notes

Luca Brazzi: I actually felt a little bad, but last time when you went out of your way to call Eddie Freido, my heart just sank and I thought to myself, Eddie will never, ever want to talk to us. So here's another example where I don't believe I was the only one that talked trash. We made a couple of comments about partially examined life. That's a podcast. Can I tell the story at least so that I can exonerate myself?

Our streak of very special guests continues! Philosopher Eddy Nahmias joins the podcast to us why people mistakenly think they're not morally responsible, and how his new study casts doubt on Sam Harris's "pamphlet" on free will. Eddy also describes his new project (with Toni Adleberg and Morgan Thompson) on why women leave philosophy. Plus Dave and I discuss some reasons for having children, and eat a little Partially Examined Life crow.
