Episode notes

I don't know how many philosophers could be accused of going pop like where they've watered it down well sell to the masses I Mean Tamler's gonna try but that's not a good thing. We're making an attempt like a good psychologist who goes for a trade book is The sort of person who's good at communicating the complexities of the science in a way that's interesting to the lay person Is there an equivalent of that for conceptual analysis for you guys? Well, i think those are good examples of sort of analytic method being brought to topics that the public actually cares about in an engaging way Those topics are almost always ethical or political right? I mean that like nobody nobody who's doing

Special guest Valerie Tiberius joins us to talk about values, well-being, and friendship. What role should reflection play in the good life? What about emotion? How can we make our values more consistent and sustainable? Do we know our friends better than we know ourselves? Plus, are philosophers experts? Experts of what? What are the boundaries of our discipline? And what motivates a gay Mormon to stay in the Church? In the first segment, David and Tamler list a few things they're grateful for on Thanksgiving, including you, the listeners (awwwwww...)
