#17 Metaphysics and Conceptual Engineering - Professor Amie Thomasson

In this episode, I have the pleasure of hosting Professor Amie Thomasson, a Professor of Philosophy at Dartmouth College. We start by discussing some comments Stephen Hawking made against philosophy, and talk about whether science has made philosophy obsolete. Professor Thomasson shares her thoughts about the role of metaphysics in philosophy and offers a new way of doing metaphysics. She further introduces the idea of conceptual engineering and explains how it can benefit philosophy as a discipline.
