RECORDED ON DECEMBER 13th 2023.
Dr. Duncan Pritchard is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy in the Philosophy School of Humanities at the University of California, Irvine. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Oxford University Press's Oxford Bibliographies: Philosophy and the co-Editor-in-Chief (and co-Founder) of the International Journal for the Study of Skepticism. Dr. Pritchard mostly works in epistemology, and has written on most of the topics in this field, including radical skepticism, theory of knowledge, virtue epistemology, modal epistemology, epistemic luck/risk, social epistemology, understanding, inquiry, know-how, and so on.
In this episode, we start by discussing what truth is, and how we can get to it. We talk about what valuing truth means, the intellectual virtues, epistemic luck and epistemic risk, and valuable kinds of ignorance. Finally, we discuss what education should be about, how to cultivate intellectual virtues in students, and the role of technology in education.

banger guest, love his work, great to see him here, too.

[@erhsetgw]

very interesting interview, thank you Ricardo!

[@aminam9201]

Truth does exist but it must be the result of process of rational intelligent human mind (infallible logic), that’s completely different than the defective logic that produces paradoxes such as the paradox of time travel, infinity, …. etc (bad logic and lack understanding,…etc).

[@aminam9201]

Doesn't this sound familiar “
How Physicists Finally Solved The Infinity Problem”?! they take human thoughts as a reference of truth “some constants solved the problem of infidelity,….. etc “! but they can’t understand the deep meaning of that “mentality of irrational thieves “!
