Jeff and Jonathan switch gears in this episode to talk a bit about the context of the name of the podcast. Reflecting on the experience of being an English student and a Philosophy student, they talk through what they remember about literary and critical theory, before veering into a deep dive on the differences between and backgrounds of Continental and Analytical philosophy -- "One of them cares about Truth, whether or not it is interesting; the other cares about being interesting, whether or not it is True." Which is which? Find out in this episode! Although they do very nearly get to discussing the inspiration behind the podcast title by the absolute end of the episode (with a lot more about this topic coming in the next episode), the topic gives them the opportunity to discuss Hume's turn to sympathy, the Kantian Sublime, the Hegelian dialectic (and Jonathan's slam-dunk paraphrase of the master-slave dialectic and Jeff's not-very-convincing idea of the hippy-yuppy-hipster dialectic), the beauty of Nietzsche's writing and the problems with his moustache (and sister). Jeff reveals some (too many?) details about the parody novel he has been working on, tentatively titled: God's Not NOT Dead.  When they get to the 20th century, Jeff and Jon try to work through the connections between German philosophy and French philosophy/theory. They talk about the two crazy-smart Simones. And finally they explore the way the question of "The Subject" emerges in a unique way once philosophy, language, and psychology come into contact with each other.
