Can simple, ordinary objects in our environment be giving us a distorted view of history? Are there any practical, negative impacts?

Episode 8. Absorbing a distorted view of history without noticing it.

This is a series of podcasts by Professor Thomas White about the practical usefulness of philosophy--philosophy for the real world. We live in a culture that bombards us with messages about what we should buy, value, believe, and how to vote. But how do we decide what's going to advance our interests--rather than the interests of the people trying to persuade us? Each podcast applies philosophical tools that will help you clearly understand a critical issue before taking any action. The goal of these podcasts is primarily practical—to show you how applying philosophical tools can put you in a position where you have maximum control over your decisions.
