Alex Speier of the Boston Globe joins Keith to try to explain what the Red Sox are doing. The core of the 2018 team is mostly gone. The club still hasn't extended Rafael Devers. Is the franchise that has regularly had one of the biggest payrolls in the game changing its philosophy? Is Chaim Bloom on the hot seat? What prospects are on the way?Follow Keith on Twitter: @keithlawFollow Alex on Twitter: @alexspeier Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Keith is joined by University of Michigan professor of philosophy Scott Hershovitz to discuss his new book, Nasty, Brutish, and Short. The book cuts a fresh path through the scary world of metaphysics and morals, using deft storytelling and a sharp wit to show what philosophy is; why kids are the best philosophers of all; how they can teach us to puzzle through revenge, rights, consciousness, the size of the universe and other daunting mysteries most grown-ups learn to ignore; and finally why the examined life is not only worth living but seriously fun.Follow Keith on Twitter: @keithlawFollow Scott on Twitter: @shershovitz Hosted on Acast.
