... okok it's out NOW don't be mad I got self-conscious it's not so bad listening to yourself talk for 30 mins straight once or twice but come round 20 you start asking yourself questions like 'do I sound too happy?'

If you missed them, the first two Descartes episodes are already up:

EPISODE 20: Descartes' response to the problem of scepticism + his external world arguments, out this friday! ☕💕

currently recording the final two eps of epistemology, scripting a bonus episode for those left wanting by the course's sceptical solutions, and prepping an important special intro to social epistemology for an assessment that will be released after grading! - hot BIV summer is here, stay tuned ☕

planning on potentially releasing a silly little filler episode tomorrow for fun if I have time as I'll be able to put more time into the main series after this week - it's an 'I have identified 25 descartes coded songs I have to share with you guys and justify' kind of silly little filler episode

*well the tidbit of the branch I've studied, which is still three hours of lectures and six papers- but if I can do the cosmological argument in 25 minutes you'd better believe I can do this in 30.

a creative summative I have at the moment fits in perfectly with a bonus ep I had in mind so if all goes well I'll release an extended version as an episode and break down a whole branch* of epistemology not covered in the pod's main series in 30 mins or less

EPISODE 19: INTRODUCING SCEPTICISM OUT NOW ☕💕 check out the link below or linktr.ee/coffeenphilo to listen on your preferred platform!

*I mean hey you probably knew it anyway but I mean this subjectively- if your house was on fire you justifiably wouldn't be that bothered about whether you know for sure it exists or not 😌

**in this context. sending someone you just met into a skeptical crisis for no reason would not be a win.

first poll vote for the latest episode is already in and either they already had the best* take or I succeeded in sending someone into a skeptical crisis, either way a win for me**

top left medium black text: demons, brains in a vat, the matrix, american mcgee's wonderland, the truman show, westword -... bottom right medium black text: ...scepticism, it's everywhere. let's talk about it. middle, large dark brown text: COFFEE AND PHILOSOPHY EPISODE 19 OUT THIS FRIDAY bottom left and top right have graphics of spilled coffee beans, and the top left corner of the page is the podcast logo.

Episode 19 out this Friday ☕💕 so many examples of sceptical scenarios. so. many.

logic is literally magic:

-you have a cool rune language (⊥→∀x∃y(x=y) etc.)

-and spells in Latin:
modus ponens!
Ex contradictione quodlibet!

-and ancient scriptures which almost everyone has forgotten (Principia Mathematica).

as an empiricist I am clearly not doing a good job at converting people to team 'boo descartes' but I have to give respect where it's due for the first response to last episode's poll being a commitment to rationalism in the face of its critics!

The real me Many identify themselves with their inner voice - the silent voice in our heads we can use to think, plan and ponder. But from Lacan to Nietzsche many have warned this inner voice is not ourselves,…

How can we truly understand our inner voices? | buff.ly/3DklPa9

Join Steve Taylor, Jack Symes, Anneli Jefferson, and Frank Tallis as they debate if the inner voice can serve as a tool of our conscience, guiding our inner lives.
