Introduction to Philosophy lecture 18

Today we discussed the Hume - Kant sequence all the way to David Foster Wallace and his meta meta questioning of the meaning of life. Where is the reality that restrains us? As one said in class it just opens up a rabbit hole - not only in our conversations but in what contemporaries talk about. I mentioned the new book Fantasyland. The video is posted here. The quiz question was Would being drunk help you learn a foreign language? (Is there some mental barrier that prevents us from seeing things in other ways?)
