I was very saddened to hear of the death of photographer Martin Parr on the 6th of December last year. Parr had a singular, signature style which defied low-brow / high-brow distinctions. In 2011 I interviewed Parr at an event tied in to an exhibition of his work at Bristol's M Shed. I dug out the recording, which has never been released, and have edited for this special microphilosophy podcast. Listening to it, I'm not convinced I asked the best questions but Parr always gave very interesting answers.

How to Think Like a Philosopher Ep6
Julian Baggini (https://www.julianbaggini.com/) and guests Simon Kirchin (https://www.kent.ac.uk/philosophy/people/1684/kirchin-simon) and Anil Seth (https://www.anilseth.com) explore how the exemplary habits and principles of the best philosophers can help us to think better. Their focus today is on the problems of "reification" – thinking of concepts as though they were things – and anthropomorphism, and finding the balance between confidence and humility in your own ideas, practices and arguments. They take as their cue Baggini’s new book How to Think Like a Philosopher (https://www.julianbaggini.com/how-to-think-like-a-philosopher/), in which he offers 12 key principles for a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking.
