In episode 225 of the Parker’s Pensées Podcast, I’m joined once again about Dr. Michael Huemer, this time to discuss the philosophy of philosophy (also called meta-philosophy by some) as well as to discuss some problems with analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, and historical philosophy that Dr. Huemer raised on his blog, FakeNous.
