This episode is a treat!
In our last two book episodes, we covered Kindly Inquisitors and The Constitution of Knowledge, both by Jonathan Rauch. We are delighted to have Jonathan on the show today to talk about both books and some points of disagreement we had when we covered the books. We discuss the nature of moral progress, whether his most recent book was politically biased, and what we can make of the credibility of our knowledge-making institutions, particularly the mainstream media.
You can find Jonathan on Twitter @jon_rauch, and on his website https://www.jonathanrauch.com.
