What's the value?

I ask guests about the value of a strongly held belief, vision, or objective they have. This can be a business idea, a personal/spiritual belief, a political/social agenda, or a focus of their career. I want to have conversations with people who are really passionate about their belief and work through how much they've questioned and challenged it. No intent of changing their minds, but just exploring and being curious. My hope is that it will help listeners better understand the guest's perspective, while also helping the guest to better understand themselves and their belief.

"The Importance of Western Philosophy" - Daniel Sanderson

Daniel is a philosopher with a strongly held belief that western philosophy is one of the most important contributions in the history of humanity. This is obviously directly in my wheel house so I was excited for this discussion, although I know for some people deep philosophical conversations can feel abstract or tough to follow. For that reason I tried to ask questions that brought the abstract concepts back down to practical terms, to make sense of how valuable they really are to humanity.

Daniel has a deep base of knowledge and some really well thought out view points on how Western Philosophy has and will continue to shape our lives. Although I see a ton of credence to that belief, I still do wonder often if there is really any practical value to it. Is it possible the ultimate irony is that we are equipped with minds that can't help but explore and seek meaning, but we live in a world where it is impossible to find any concrete meaning? Daniel and I did our best to try to answer that question.
