Listen Later

In this episode, my guest is Karen Stohr, the author of Choosing Freedom: A Kantian Guide to Life. Prof. Stohr joined the philosophy department at Georgetown in 2002, where she is the Ryan Family Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy. In 2011, she also became a senior research scholar at Georgetown’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics. Learn more about Karen Stohr’s work and background.

In the conversation, Karen and I discuss,

  • The life and philosophy of Immanuel Kant
  • What it means to live according to reason
  • Why overcoming vice is more than half the battle
  • The role of hope
  • Wisdom in daily life and much more

  • ***If you’re interested in a free weekly meetup (Fridays @Noon EST), I’m calling Reading & the Good Life; you can register now. Reading & the Good Life is a space for connection, contemplation, and conversations on the art of living.
