  • Episode 187: World Tour of Philosophy: On the Road Part 4
    Join us this week for the big reunting event as Mike and Danny finally hook up in Germany. Grimace with barely suppressed irritation as you hear Mike, as over excited as an existentialist in dispair, fails to let Danny get a word in edge ways. Be overcome with emotion at their long awaited reunion, gasp in incomprehension at Mike's clear betrayal and his subsequent realisation that Danny has been "thinking away from home". Yes, passions run deep this week, can even Henri Bergson help to calm the such turbulent emotions? Listen in and find out, I'm not going to tell you here, I won't give Danny the satisfaction of seeing me cry...

    As Mike thunders down the autobahn on his way to meet Danny in Germany, our philosophical duo do a good thing and talk Altruism - or are they ultimately being selfish really for doing so? Is there something wrong about feeling good about doing good? Let's set up a hedonic calculus to work this thing out! Tune in this week for another helping of inspiring thought!
