The Philosophy Talk team is deeply saddened by Ken Taylor’s untimely passing this month. Ken was the show’s co-founder, longtime co-host, chief cheerleader, and guiding light. In this special episode, co-hosts Josh Landy and Debra Satz, along with host emeritus and co-creator John Perry, remember their colleague and friend. They also hear from past guests, former students, and others touched by Ken’s life and work.

If you’re inclined to take a deep dive into Ken’s personal background and life as a philosopher, then we think you’ll thoroughly enjoy this extensive interview and his Stanford obituary. We’re also touched and honored that Ken’s family has requested that donations in his memory be made to Philosophy Talk.
