Episode notes

i was pretty much out after the first episode, and then convinced. Cavent recommended very bad daughters, our daughters take over to mike and tell stories about us. That was acute. My daughter will never do i think she might. And he has, i he comes from a very kind of the late witkensinan approach. Apparently, like agan.

David and Tamler take their first real look at pragmatism via Richard Rorty’s “Solidarity or Objectivity.” Can we discover facts about the world as it “really is,” independent of our own culturally influenced methods of inquiry? If not, does that make us relativists? Is David right about pragamatism being an ass-backward approach to scientific truth, or is he just a pragmatist who’s not ready to admit that to himself? Plus, does "The Little Mermaid" have to be white? What about Clark Kent? And we select the topic finalists for our Patreon listener selected episode.
