In this week’s “Spreading the Word”, I share with you a video. It is a short 6 minutes clip taken from a longer (~45 min) interview on the topic of the value of philosophy. Since this subject is on my mind lately and I have written the first part of my essay on it here, the views of the speakers resonate with me, and add a different perspective, which, I think, is worth sharing. In addition, some statements are sure to make you smile.
On a separate note, I recommend to check some other videos on this YouTube channel (Philosophy Overdose). They have a lot of interesting interviews with various philosophers.
“Societies decay when (belief structures) remain unchallenged.”
From the interview (video link below)
Enjoy!

Keeping up the new “Spreading the Word” tradition, every Thursday I hope to share with you an article I’ve read or a video I’ve seen and considered it to be inspiring or enlightening. Especially now, during our uncertain times, I feel it is important to take good care not just of our physical but also of our mental well-being. Humans have always turned to storytelling when everything else fails. My Thursdays’ “Spreading the Word” articles are an online version of sharing worthwhile stories.
keep exploring and storytelling!
