Hi again. Here is the third podcast for the course. In this podcast I will discuss both of the essays for this coming week, as well as introducing you to our next film, Adaptation. Before you listen, be sure to download the first reading, Richard Rorty’s "Platonists, Positivists, and Pragmatists", and read it along with our second reading, Susan Sontag's "Against Interpretation". Links to both of these essays are provided in the course calendar. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me using the link to the right.

See you on Thursday!

I agree with all the views as partly correct. There, in my opinion, is always a grain of truth within any statement, or else we would not have experienced the data in the first place. Our job as "Thinkers" is to determine how much of what we hear is correct.

For sanity's sake, I must elaborate the last "Hear" to be any sensory input we perceive
