Ep. 117 Aftershow (Preview) on Antigone with Danny Lobell




The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast show

Summary: Comedian Danny Lobell of the <a href="http://www.moderndayphilosophers.net/" target="_blank">Modern Day Philosophers podcast</a> and our own Wes Alwan were joined for a discussion of <a href="http://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2015/06/15/ep117-1-sophocles-antigone/" target="_blank">Antigone</a> by PEL citizens Daniel Cole, David Buchanan, Erik Weissengruber, Frank Marcopolos, and Terra Leigh Bell. We talked a little about how to distinguish acting on principle from acting out of personal pride (and whether these can be distinguished); whether Creon is just drunk with power or believes he's doing the right thing; and about a whole host of other marginally related things, including race and Rachel Dolezal.<br> This is a short preview of a 2-hr conversation.
