Is Philosophy an Armchair Discipline? Emma Swinn and Stephen Law in Conversation
- Abstract:
- What is philosophy? Some believe it is essentially an armchair discipline – something that we can do, roughly speaking, in our heads. It should to be distinguished from other, empirical disciplines such as physics, chemistry. However, others argue that there’s much more to philosophy than just armchair reflection. This dialogue explores these issues.
