Philosophy as Self-Exploration

Philosophy is characterized as more than just self-expression; it embodies the exploration of one's temperament while seeking truth. The podcast emphasizes this dual nature through the lens of Iris Murdoch's views, suggesting that engaging in philosophical discourse requires both introspection and a commitment to uncovering deeper realities. The host seeks to understand how individual philosophers' temperaments influence their work, inviting guests to share personal insights that reveal their unique philosophical perspectives. This exploration of self and thought aims to foster a richer understanding of the interplay between one's personal experiences and philosophical endeavors.
