i think this new philosopher that we get a glimpse of at the end of part two is at least aware of what he's doing to an extent. Even people who work on cognitive biases and motivated reasoning aren't fully incorporating this view in a way that i think at least Nietzsche imagines himself to be doing, says David Frum. Like most scientists he's not trying to find that one true theory he wants a whole world of possibilities said Frum.
David and Tamler dive into the first two parts of Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil which contain some of Nietzsche’s best drive-bys on philosophers like Plato, Descartes, the Stoics, Kant, and Hegel along with beliefs in free will, hard determinism, Christianity, morality, conceptual analysis, objectivity, and the value of truth. We argue about Nietzsche’s metaphilosophy and the implications of thinking that all philosophy amounts to a personal confession by the author. Plus – have David’s prayers been answered? Does quantum theory entail that our consciousness outlives the death of our physical bodies? A blog post about a somewhat recent book says yes!
