Fluidity of Belief ~ Grasping and Accepting Unstable Identities (ft. Mr. Douglas Parker) Quotidian Musings
-
- Filosofia
We learn about the great figures of history through what they've done and the beliefs that motivated their actions. Yet, beliefs are ever-changing, fluid things. Political scientist Francis Fukuyama changed his stance after he published his prominent book "The End of History and the Last Man." A single conversation with someone else could modify your opinions. Then, how do we know what we believe in? How flexible should we be to persuasion, and how much should we hold true to what we know? Combined with an interview with high school teacher Mr. Douglas Parker, this episode will delve into how what we believe is inexplicably tied with our identities.
