Jeffrey Kaplan joins us to discuss his work in philosophy on the nature of law, law’s connection to morality, and the way law gives us reasons to follow it. We discuss the connection with Christian’s work and also succeed (wildly but sporadically) in providing the usual nonsense.

We discuss the morality of concurring and dissenting. And the usual nonsense.

Episode 217: Except as to Part I(A) Yada Yada

Joe and Christian talk about the pandemic and, then, some nonsense.

Episode 216: Mac-a-tizer

We discuss the march on the Capitol and... all this.

Episode 215: Whirlpool of Garbage

In this holiday spectacular, we talk about small claims. In particular, would a court for small copyright claims be a good or bad thing? You can probably guess what we each say. In exploring this, we consider the nature of dogs, hunters, and children.

Episode 214: Small Claims

Joe lowers the boom, and we start talking. In the 213th episode of this very serious podcast, we discuss: scams, flight simulators, flight, K2, Joe's blue cheese odyssey, olives, the nature of expertise, nihilism, and the adversary system. And other things as well.
