Thinking Like A Philosopher

Eight professional philosophers share thoughtful, behind-the-scenes insights into what first attracted them, and what still attracts them, to the philosophical life. They give their unique perspective on what it means to think philosophically to provide a sense of how basic philosophical approaches are directly relevant to all of us. What sorts of people become philosophers? What types of questions are they intrigued by? And how does philosophy help them best address those questions?  Featured are: Mark Bevir (UC Berkeley), James Robert Brown (University of Toronto), Patricia Churchland (UC San Diego), Brian Epstein (Tufts University), Nita Farahany (Duke University), Scott Soames (University of Southern California), Susan Wolf (UNC Chapel Hill).
