EV - 116 Zhuangzi and Scientific Realism with Aaron Novick Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

My guest this week is Aaron Novick (@AmneMachin), assistant professor of philosophy at Purdue University. We combine together two often requested topics that might not seem related at first glance. We look first at the work of Zhuangzi, a 4th century Chinese philosopher, and then consider how it informs our modern discussion of the nature of science.
