The HBS hosts get to the bottom of what is real, what exists, and what is virtual.In this episode, we take head on the question of whether an analysis, understanding, and assumption of reality, in other words, metaphysics, is a crucial task for philosophy. We argue about whether metaphysics should come before social and political theory, political engagement, and ethics. We come clean about our own positions on what is real. In short, we get real with reality.Full episode notes at this link:http://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-53-metaphysicsSupport HOTEL BAR SESSIONS podcast on Patreon at this link:patron.com/hotelbarsessions
