Philosophy's Universal Nature

The podcast challenges the notion that philosophy is like a culturally unique form of ballet, suggesting instead that it is a universal activity embraced by people across different cultures. By defining philosophy as the pursuit of fundamental questions about various aspects of life, the podcast argues for its universality, existing wherever humans have lived. This broad definition encompasses traditional philosophical disciplines like metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, hinting that the roots of philosophy are intertwined with essential human inquiry and reflection.
