Shownotes Transcript

In this CCAST Jac talks with a professor of philosophy, Dr. Megan Fritts, about why she is in academia, about some of her philosophical positions, and discusses the idea of 'communitarianism', a social philosophy that, as it sounds, emphasizes the community. Some of the inquiries brought up briefly include: technology ethics and how the internet has harmed us, the role of community and our view of 'the good' in the social sphere, and how exactly human action is possible.
