This is an excerpt from a prior episode of The Partially Examined Life podcast, interviewing Professor Owen Flanagan, author of The Bodhisattva's Brain: Buddhism Naturalized. The Bodhisattva's Brain: Buddhism Naturalized can be purchased from Amazon.com here: http://amzn.com/B005L40GSQ You can find the entire Flanagan interview, along with dozens of other episodes discussing philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, at the Partially Examined Life website: http://www.partiallyexaminedlife.com About PEL: The podcasters were all graduate students in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin back in the Clinton years. They all left the program at some point before getting their doctorates and have consequently since had time to get outside that whole weird world of academia and reflect on it and the various philosophical topics with a different, and probably much more lazy, perspective.
