Episode notes

I enjoy, i really enjoy agnosticism as a, a, a stance. I'm 65 a i feel wiser than i was 20 years ago. It might be an illusion, but i do feel i've made some progress. But i have to confess a lot of that progress is i appreciating what i don't know. And like the searching, live in live in the search. That's actually valuable.

Philosopher and author Agnes Callard talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the state of philosophy, the power of philosophy, and the search for wisdom and truth. This is a wide-ranging conversation related to the question of how we learn, how to behave ethically, and the role of religion and philosophy in encouraging good behavior.
