Episode notes

Teacher: Aristotle is very hard because he's so boring to read. He says plato can sort of get into it without really getting anywhere close to the bottom of it. "You have these conversations about people or talking to each other, who are arguing with each other"

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.
