In this episode, my guest is Alva Noë, the author of The Entanglement: How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are. Alva is a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is a member of the Center for New Media, the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and the Program in Critical Theory.

 In this episode, Alva and I discuss:

  • Making sense of the search for wisdom.

  • Why we are creatures of style.
  • The connection between art and philosophy.
  • Wisdom in daily life and much more.
