| Thinking Through External World Skepticism w/ Lydia McGrew | 07 Sep 2022 | 00:57:46 | |
Time for another philosophy-filled episode! This time, Pat is joined by Dr. Lydia McGrew to help us think through external world skepticism. Is there really a world beyond our minds, or might everything we experience be the result of some malignant spirit manipulating our thoughts, as Descartes once suggested? Most people refuse to take these absurd hypotheticals seriously, but philosophers have often struggled to articulate just why these situations are, in fact, irrational. Fortunately, Dr. McGrew has some really good published material on the problem of external world skepticism, which we discuss in this episode. You can learn more about Lydia McGrew at her website http://www.lydiamcgrew.com/ Phil for People Links/Resources Phil for People website: http://www.philosophyforthepeople.com Phil for People on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PhilosophyforthePeople Pat's Substack: https://chroniclesofstrength.substack.com/ Jim's Substack: https://substack.com/jdmadden Pat's "pay what you want" courses: https://pftp.gumroad.com/ Jim's "pay what you want courses: https://jmadden.gumroad.com/ Philosophy for the People on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TI4Vcy8IPRHHPXRdqMpbG Philosophy for the People on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/philosophy-for-the-people/id1639532152
