Thought Tickle

Philosophy is for everyone not just lecture halls and academic journals. Getting started can feel intimidating. There’s a lot of jargon, and sometimes it feels like you need a degree just to ask a question. So here, I tell stories about ancient and modern philosophy with one simple rule: keep it simple, and make it worth remembering. This is philosophy for the rest of us. - Enitan
