#180 Asking The Big Questions: Philosophy – Meera Finnigan

Bryn Edwards at The WA Real

This week we go further into our inquiry and exploration into philosophy with local WA philosophical lecturer, Meera Finnigan.

Meera sets the scene of what philosophy and philosophical inquiry is all about, before sharing some of the big questions that she herself is wrestling with currently.

She takes you on a fantastic tour, through the origins of philosophy and introduces some of the great thinkers that have come before us. She also introduces you to the three main areas that of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, or in other words, questions relating to our reality, our knowledge, and our sense of right and wrong.

This is a fun and engaging conversation where we exchange many views.

What you will soon begin to realise is just how some of those bigger questions that many of the great thinkers that have come before us have wrestled with, still apply to today, and our current situation.
