Welcome to the website associated with Professor Thomas White’s Philosophy for the Real World podcasts–a series of podcasts about the practical usefulness of philosophy. We live in a culture that bombards us with messages about what we should buy, value, believe, and how to vote. But how do we decide what’s going to advance our interests–rather than the interests of the people trying to persuade us? Each podcast applies philosophical tools that will help you clearly understand a critical issue before taking any action. The goal of these podcasts is primarily practical—to show you how applying philosophical tools can put you in a position where you have maximum control over your decisions. Some episodes will clarify issues about which we regularly made decisions. Others will encourage to to see the world differently by questioning conventional wisdom.
