Join Sophie Murphy on Philosophy Pheed, where she interviews an array of philosophers from across the globe in a quest to locate truth through the investigation of ethical, metaphysical and epistemological matters. Philosophy Pheed is a show which aims to deconstruct difficult, abstract concepts like paradoxes and semantics into consumable piecemeal quantities.
