    54. The Moral Consequence of Our Being

    54. The Moral Consequence of Our Being

    In this episode, philosophers are those who have become cognizant of the moral weight of their thought, and are concerned by it. In fact, they see thinking as equivalent with the recognition of the moral impact of their being within reality; in other words, they think that to be amoral is to be without thought, while to be immoral is to act against the inevitable conclusions of thought, which are always underscored by the acknowledgement of the moral consequence of our being.

    53. Nature Is Not A Problem / Psychologists are Civilization's Ministers

    Low energy episode. First one recorded in weeks, and I'm uploading it to see how it feels. Another idea for this episode's title could be: 'Moments of Empty Satisfaction'.
    Peace and love to you

    52. The Empty Freedom in David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest'

    A guest episode with Nikole, wherein we discuss David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest' and the societal problems which the individuals in his novel must grapple and cope with, as they realize in this life they have one of two choices to make: succumb to endless pleasure for lack of any other option, or else delay their gratification for the sake of a lifestyle that is healthier for them mentally and physically.

    Picked this book up at a used book store two weeks ago - just getting started on it, and so far it is dynamite!

    50. Consciousness Cannot Be Improved Upon

    50. Consciousness Cannot Be Improved Upon

    This episode is relaunching the series, so in it I spend time stating what is the purpose and intention of continuing with the 'About Reality' Podcast. I am very excited to resume podcasting about philosophy, and this episode (conveniently a round number, at 50) is the beginning of a much more regular series exploring all manner of philosophical ideas, from the past as well as -- maybe -- from the present, so long as we find philosophers in the present stating new things that turn out to be necessary for the conduct of philosophical living.

    49. The Discoveries of Philosophers

    49. The Discoveries of Philosophers

    This episode about how the thoughts we are able to think are limited or bounded by the assumptions we hold about reality, including notions of time, of the freedom of the individual versus determination, etc., and how the discoveries of philosophers are phenomena used to think beyond those limits. The question is whether philosophers have discovered all that there is to uncover about humankind and their presence in the world—and then, if they have, where does that leave us in the present age?
