Episode 27: You, Your Self, and Your Brain (With Eddy Nahmias)

Published: July 22, 2013, 5 a.m.

Our streak of very special guests continues!\xa0 Philosopher Eddy Nahmias joins the podcast to us why people mistakenly think they're not morally responsible, and how his new study casts doubt on Sam Harris's "pamphlet" on free will.\xa0 Eddy also describes his new project (with Toni Adleberg and Morgan Thompson) on why women leave philosophy.\xa0 Plus Dave and I discuss some reasons for having children, and eat a little Partially Examined Life crow.\xa0
