Five years after abruptly ending their beloved podcast, Connor and Dan resuscitate the corpse and take her around town for one final spin. Not a ton of hard-hitting philosophy in this one! Just a good old fashioned hang sesh, and a much-needed opportunity for Connor and Dan to catch everyone up on what's been happening, where their heads are at in the year 2025, and which fantasy book they read most recently. Finally, some closure!

#310 - Diogenes
In addition to being the patron saint of cynicism, the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes is basically the patron saint of Drunken Philosophy. He was famous for living in an overturned wine barrel on the streets of Athens and generally thumbing his nose at the educated citizens of that old world metropolis. This week, Connor and Dan investigate Diogenes' whole deal and see if he had anything worth while to say.

#309 - Liberty, Harm, and a Ride on the Bus
This week, Connor and Dan break quarantine in order to venture into the land of make believe. It's thought experiment time! Should people be free to do harmless actions? What if they're really gross? What if I'm just trying to get to work and they're being really gross? These are the pressing questions answered on this week's episode (sort of).

#308 - Jean Gebser, Structures of Consciousness
Are we approaching end times or just a monumentally shift in the way we understand the world? If you were to ask European poet, philosopher, and student of culture Jean Gebser he would emphatically say it was the latter. This week, Connor and Dan discuss Gebser's various structures of consciousness to see where we've been, where we are, and where we're going.
Dan has a degree in Philosophy. Connor has a degree in High School. Together they have a bit of a drinking problem. Each week they explore the work of a new philosopher or a new philosophical idea and do their best to learn something before getting distracted.
