7. Transformative Experience

Filosofisk podcast

In this second English episode of Filosofisk podcast, L.A. Paul and Krister Bykvist join us for a discussion about transformative experiences and how the nature of such experiences affect the ability to make rational decisions. The guests’ philosophical recommendations: “Prudence”, article by Phillip Bricker in The Journal of Philosophy (1980); “Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming”, book by Agnes Callard (2018); “Choosing for Changing Selves”, book by Richard Pettigrew (2019); “Normal Rationality: Decisions and Social Order”, collection of works by Edna Ullmann-Margalit, edited by C. R. Sunstein & A. Margalit (2017); and “Becoming Someone New: Essays on Transformative Experience, Choice, and Change”, anthology edited by E. Lambert & J. Schwenkler (2020). Filosofisk podcast publishes philosophical discussions (usually in Swedish, but sometimes in English) with invited guests. The hosts are Stina Björkholm, Olle Risberg, and Nils Sylvan.
