An Old Man and his Two Sons

We (Part 3 of 4)


Listen Later

On this, the third episode in the four part series "Why Are We Here?", An Old Man and his Two Sons tackle the concept of "We". They finally get into the philosophical meat of the overall concept of this mini-series and attempt to tackle the concept of community, society, and what influence it may have on a unified answer to the great question.
We mention a modern philosopher of which we all enjoy the teachings: Daniel Dennett. Several links for your own education have been included below.
