Why is the world of ideas dominated by male thinkers? Is it because women are discouraged from intellectual life - or is it because women tend to choose other careers?
If we go even deeper: why do women (and men) make the choices they do? Is it because they are influenced by overwhelming societal pressures - or are they acting freely?
These are the questions I've asked Dr. Michelle Boulous-Walker, who teaches at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Can we talk about things that don't exist?
This is my interview breakdown of Episode 33 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbMY-jw92QM) - my conversation with Dr. Jody Azzouni. The overall conversation was about the metaphysics of mathematics, but for the first half, we focused on metaphysics in general - and specifically whether or not some things could have a mind-dependent existence.
Dr. Azzouni says no; I say yes. It's one of my favorite interviews so far, and this is why.

Original article here: http://steve-patterson.com/tautologies-must-not-be-dismissed/
Tautologies get a bad rap in philosophy. When most people say, "That's merely a tautology", they are really saying, "That's dogmatic and useless!"
I disagree with the standard orthodoxy regarding tautologies. Not only are they useful, they are foundational for our entire worldview.

Morality is not about actions or "doing the right thing." It's about intention. Trolley problems, thus, can have different resolutions depending on the person.

Too often, people mistake the relationship between their concepts and the external world. There are no "objective colors". A color is a label we put on an experience. It's a concept, and its boundaries are linguistic, not metaphysical.
