Scott Hershovitz on his new book, 'Nasty, Brutish, and Short'

<p>Keith is joined by University of Michigan professor of philosophy Scott Hershovitz to discuss his new book, <em>Nasty, Brutish, and Short. </em>The book cuts a fresh path through the scary world of metaphysics and morals, using deft storytelling and a sharp wit to show what philosophy is; why kids are the best philosophers of all; how they can teach us to puzzle through revenge, rights, consciousness, the size of the universe and other daunting mysteries most grown-ups learn to ignore; and finally why the examined life is not only worth living but seriously fun.</p><br><p>Follow Keith on Twitter: @keithlaw</p><p>Follow Scott on Twitter: @shershovitz</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
