Philosophy: Nasty, Brutish, and Short (Hybrid)


ID : 13082   

« back to classes page
Some of the best philosophers are kids debating questions about metaphysics and morality. University of Michigan philosophy professor Scott Hershovitz shows they can help grown-ups solve some of life’s greatest mysteries. Hershovitz noticed that his two young sons raised philosophical questions and tried to answer them. Does Hank have the right to drink soda? Is it ever okay to swear? Does the number six exist? They recreated ancient arguments and advanced entirely new ones. Every kid is a philosopher.
