Show Notes

 When Amaziah, Priest of the Shrine of Bethel, confronts the prophet Amos for conspiring against King Amaziah, Amos replies with a very specific denial: “I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son.”  And it’s hard to run for president of the United States without insisting early and often that “I’m not a politician.”  What about philosophers?  What happens when you ask a philosopher whether or not she’s a philosopher?  We might find that out today as we talk with Rebekah Spera and David M. Peña-Guzman about their recent book Professional Philosophy and Its Myths from Lexington BooksAnd even if we don’t, I imagine we’ll find ourselves posing questions about the field that we call academic philosophy that are worth posing.
