Finding Meaning and Dealing with Suffering through Philosophy

In this episode, we discuss Kieran Setiya's book "life is hard" and discuss the place of philosophy in our everyday lives. Can philosophy be a guide to a life well lived, and actually educate us to live through suffering effectively?

This one is a far-ranging open discussion around the topic of the book.
