Continuing our focus on Aristotle’s ethics we cover LA Kosman’s “Being Properly Affected”. In this paper Kosman introduces his idea that we choose the emotions we feel by expanding the definition of “choice”. This is then paired with the virtues of Aristotle to make for a voluntary and ethical analysis of feelings as well as actions. Enjoy this episode as it foreshadows a return to our hardcore philosophy roots!

We are BACK and making up to you guys all the missed content that we didn’t give you over the break. Featuring special guest DJ Maddawg and DJ Paperview we cover more information on Aristotle’s virtue ethics and some objections that DJ Demorgens has in particular. The conversation about philosophy faded out at the end transitioning into a film discussion. Hopefully you learn something and as always, enjoy!

This week DJ Geist and Demorgens welcome back one another from a LONG Christmas break. We will discuss classes this semester, what we did over the break as well as some of Aristotle’s ethics. This will be the first in the semester long series where we cover various different ethical works.

This week DJ Geist and DJ Demorgens will be working their way through Gillian Russell's "Logical Nihlism: Could There Be No Logic?". This paper is an impetus for DJ Demorgens Senior Thesis that he will be writing next semester. Russell posits in this article that there is possiblity that, among the possible metaphysically true logics, no logical independently existent logic actually exists.

This week we are going to start of by circling back to the Clyde Taylor paper, "Black Cinema and Aesthetics", that we did not have a chance to get to. After that we are going to work through as much of John Rawls' "Justice and Fairness" as we can. As always feel free to read along and DM us any questions(handle CHANGED this week) you might have @philosophytofallasleeptoo!!

This week we covering some African American philosophy. We read Angela Davis' "Racialization of Punishment and Prison Abolition" and Clyde Taylor's "Black Cinema and Aesthetics". We really enjoyed reading through these and as always encourage you guys to read along with us and send any questions you might have to our instagram @philosophywethink!

This week we shift back to the start of the analytic tradition in philosophy with Frege's "Sense and Reference". We are going to take you guys through some interesting linguistic philosophy as well as what we think are the best objections to this view. As always DM us on instagram if anything is not making 'sense'!

This will be our first week with a guest! While we usually choose 2-3 papers, we chose 1 especially difficult text this week to cover from Hegel's History of Philosophy. This lecture over Spinoza's metaphysics will cover concepts like infinity, ethics and Hegel's "dialect process"!
