Customer Reviews
The best podcast on science and philosophy around
The only podcast I never miss an episode of.
Socrates reincarnated
This podcast is reminiscent of what Socrates himself would have created. It explores the realms of truth and learning while expanding the frontiers of “knowledge”. Through engaging conversations, Mr. Caroll, not only explains but also genuinely learns from his guests, all in pursuit of uncovering the truth. Observing the transformative journey of a theoretical physicist into a professional philosopher is akin to witnessing the theory of "emergence" in action, where new laws give rise to more intricate and descriptive ones. Thank you for pioneering the science of Physilosophy.
Absolute treat
Sean has an excellent grasp of the listener’s state of mind and makes sure the conversations don’t leave them behind. And the topics are just fascinating. I second another listener’s suggestion to interview Aaron Sloman!
