    In this episode of the Fighting Anomie podcast, I discuss two of the lectures on pragmatism delivered by William James as well as the philosophical tradition of pragmatism with my friends Micah Brouwer and Ram Prasanna. The conversation is part of a new series on William James including his pragmatic philosophy, metaphysics, and general approach towards life. Each episode in the series will entails a group discussion between several myself and several thoughtful friends of mine.

    26/05/2019

    Free Will, Determinism, and Predestination (feat. Nathan)

    In this episode of Fighting Anomie, I sit down with my good friend Nathan Worden to talk about human agency. Do humans have free will - do we determine our futures? Juxtaposing this hopeful idea next to the impersonal physical laws of the universe and the potential existence of an all-powerful God makes for an anxiety inducing yet thought provoking discussion.
