Philosophizing (and other things) with Professor Justin Morton
Manage episode 266139000 series 2734862
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” C.S. Lewis said that. It stands to reason, then, that this conversation is unnecessary– a conversation between two friends… about philosophy! UC Davis Philosophy professor Justin Morton joins the podcast and opens up to Peter about his life, intellectual journey and just… all sorts of other stuff. At the end of the day, it’s a conversation among friends – it just so happens to touch on topics like: what is the good life? How does one find his or her calling? What makes up the prevailing worldview of college students today? How do we make sense of the Problem of Evil (how does it make any sense that there is evil in a world if God is good?)? So, yes, Mr. Lewis, friendship and philosophy might be unnecessary, but you're right, they sure do make surviving a lot more fun. Enjoy the conversation!
