What is Philosophy? Changing the Subject

In this video we talk about Changing the Subject by philosopher Raymond Geuss. In the discussion, we flesh out what philosophy is. Philosophy is a matter of changing the situation, pondering conceptual questions in response to situations in which humans find themselves in.

This book is a good introduction to philosophers within the western tradition. The 12 philosophers which are mentioned in this video and the book are:
1. Socrates, Apology of Socrates
2. Plato, The Republic
3. Lucretius, On the Nature of Things
4. Augustine, City of God
5. Montaigne, Essays
6. Hobbes, The Leviathan
7. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit
8. Nietzsche, Genealogy of Morals
9. Lukács, History and Class Consciousness
10. Heidegger, Being and Time
11. Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations
12. Adorno, Minima Moralia

*Correction: I mention Plato's analogy of the Cave when I meant to say Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
