ep 4: Learning about the Lived Social World through Fiction (Part 1: Introduction)

<description>&lt;p&gt;We talk about Psycho-Pass (again), supposedly just to talk about things we didn't get to talk about in the last episode. We ended up with an even longer episode, now centered on what (little) we know about Utilitarianism and how it can be related to the anime series.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;I talk with my good friend TJ Castillon about Psycho-Pass, an anime series we both watched, and some ideas of Michel Foucault, a very influential thinker and personality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

ep 1: Intro to the Podcast and Cultural Texts

We take cultural texts (shows, movies, books, food, music, art... anything, really) and bring them into conversations around social thought and philosophy, with the hope of understanding our social world a little better in the process.

what a wonderful (social) world
