Oxford Think Festival - Thursday, 15th November 2018 On World Philosophy Day, Tim Williamson and Richard Marshall discussed how modern philosophers think and work and tackle some of the key questions surrounding philosophy in new and provocative ways. Drawing on examples throughout the history of philosophy’s successes and failures, Tim Williamson demonstrates how philosophy begins with common-sense curiosity and develops through our capacity to dispute rationally with each other. From thought experiments to deduction to theories, this talk will make you rethink what philosophy is. © Oxford University Press
