Is Philosophy Combative?

Dr. Ellie Anderson and Dr. David Peña-Guzmán, Philosophy professors and co-hosts of Overthink podcast, discuss the disciplinary norms of philosophy: is philosophy combative? Can you ever fully remove ego from intellectual debate? From Socrates to the epistolary tradition, David and Ellie reflect on the merits and downsides of how philosophy has been done and how it is practiced today.
