In this episode of Tent Talks, I speak with my friend Nik Kennelly, who is a philosophy major and rising senior at Whitman College.  Nik and I have a wide-ranging conversation about a variety of topics, including but not limited to Kantian Ethics, Utilitarianism, Hume’s Is/Ought Distinction, the philosophy of Christine Korsgaard, Existentialism, the Self, the Metaphysics of Modality, Modal Realism, the concept of Fictional Truth, and the Experience Machine thought experiment.

In this episode of Tent Talks, I speak with my teaching assistant Lesly Walker.  We discuss the ethics of lying, the paradox of tragedy, and the relationship between narration and the existence of the self.

In this episode of Tent Talks, I speak with my friend Sarah Collier about poetry.  Sarah holds a B.A. in English and an M.A.Ed in Secondary English Education from the College of William & Mary.  We discuss why we love poetry, talk about how we view it as an art form, and then have a live poetry reading in which we read poems from some of our all time favorite poets, and perform some of our own poems as well.
