On Bourgeois Philosophy

What is philosophy? How do we define bourgeois philosophy? What is first-world chauvinism? How is 'mansplaining' related to neocolonialism? How is diversity used as a tool of neocolonialism? Why is it important to claim a philosophy?

We discuss these questions and more with Mateo Andante, philosopher of mathematics and logic, and the brainchild of the Bourgeois Philosophy blog: bourgeoisphilosophy.wordpress.com
