Episode 262: Supposing Truth is a Woman (Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil")

Very Bad Wizards

David and Tamler dive into the first two parts of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil which contain some of Nietzsche's best drive-bys on philosophers like Plato, Descartes, the Stoics, Kant, and Hegel along with beliefs in free will, hard determinism, Christianity, morality, conceptual analysis, objectivity, and the value of truth. We argue about Nietzsche's metaphilosophy and the implications of thinking that all philosophy amounts to a personal confession by the author. Plus – have David's prayers been answered? Does quantum theory entail that our consciousness outlives the death of our physical bodies? A blog post about a somewhat recent book says yes!
