In what is undoubtedly the funniest hour you’ll spend listening to a discussion of normative ethics, Caspar Hare—instructor for 24.00x Introduction to Philosophy—recently appeared on the podcasted talk show “You’re the Expert.”
If you’re looking for a taste of what the course is all about, or if you are just interested in trying along with show contestants to distinguish between philosophical thought experiments that Hare has invented in his books and sinister plots of Hollywood horror movies like Saw, give it a listen. Just be prepared to be drawn in for the whole hour.
Hi Folks, would like to repost this excellent page, but the links to the “You’re the Expert” show do not yet appear to be working.
Thanks for writing, Emily. This posting was from 2013. For me, the podcast link is working – but the link to the edX 24.00x course has changed. I’ve updated that to the new edX course link.
