Armchair Philosophy Podcast
Society & Culture

Armchair Philosophy is a podcast about philosophical conversations. We try to make ordinary things sound more philosophical, all the while making philosophical things sound interesting to everyone. We explore the limits of the human mind all from the comfort of what can only be described as very nice armchairs.

  • 5 - Armchair Philosophy Podcast Ep. 005 "Aesthetics Part 1"
    The Armchair Philosophy Podcast is back and with an artistic vengeance. Today, the boys talk about aesthetics and all things beauty. From the scholastic approach of aesthetics, to the quantifying of beauty, to how we should search for it in the first place and more, this first part of the aesthetics podcast is sure to make you want to slice off an ear and hand it to a loved one (that joke's more for the art history majors in here).

    This week the Armchair Philosophy Podcast tries to wrap its ugly head around ethics. From historical definitions, to actual citations of philosophers, to human rights and even all the way to objectivity of ethics, if this podcast doesn't make you more ethical then it's on you! Listen in and see if your own ethical purposes follow at all.
