What is philosophy? Is this question itself a philosophical question or is it a "meta" philosophical question? Is armchair philosophy an appropriate method of philosophizing or should we all be in labs somewhere helping the scientists? Dr. Timothy Williamson and I discuss these and many more questions in this episode while we cover the second edition of his book, The Philosophy of Philosophy.  Find more from Dr. Williamson here: https://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/people/timothy-williamson If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $3, $5 or a number of other amounts.
