Ergo Sum is an amateur's review of the history of philosophy. It's an ethics-first political philosophy discussion among friends. A lighthearted exploration of the human condition. My little contribution to the Great Conversation. Big ideas. Bigger mouths.

<p>Ergo Sum is a podcast about… philosophy. Mostly.</p> <p>No, ummm…</p> <p>Ok. Bear with me.</p> <p>euristic, adjective. - enabling a person to discover or learn something for themselves.</p> <p>The word ‘heuristic’ has different definitions in different fields and industries. Before we explore the ways I mean it; do any of you guys use it professionally?</p> <p>Fittingly, the word, like the story we're outlining, starts with the ancient greek/pre-greek;</p> <p>/heu̯.rís.kɔː/ → /eˈβris.ko/ → /eˈvris.ko/ </p> <p>I happen upon by chance, find</p> <p>I find out, discover</p> <p>I acquire, fetch, obtain</p> <p>So a heuristic tool or device is a construct to better our odds of happening upon, of discovering, of acquiring knowledge or understanding.</p> <p>What I mean, for our purposes, is that the podcast itself has become a tool to help me learn and do philosophy. </p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co</a></p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>

<p>Ergo Sum is a podcast about… philosophy. Mostly.</p> <p>No, ummm…</p> <p>Ok. Bear with me.</p> <p>I struggled a lot to write this preface.</p> <p>It’s been hard to pick any one angle on something as abstract and personal as the study of philosophy. Creating a narrative around an ongoing experience is a complicated logistical challenge. Sort of an uncertainty/indeterminacy principle situation; I know where I’m at, but not where I’m going.</p> <p>I’m still discovering what the podcast is. Let me try to give you a snapshot anyway.</p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co</a></p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>

<p>This was our first attempt at an episode. It spurred me to take my plan back to the drawing board and come up with a much better plan of attack. I've left it up for the sake of transparency and context. Thanks for listening.</p> <p>We talk about 'strangemaking', Plato, The Republic, and Charmander.</p> <p>Get all your Allegories and Dialogues right here, folks...</p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://ergo-sum.pinecast.co</a></p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
