Robert Gressis (Cal State Northridge), Dan Kaufman (Missouri State) and Kevin Currie-Knight (East Carolina) talk about what’s and isn’t lifelike to count on of philosophy. Subjects embody realism (Rob) and antirealism (Dan and Kevin), Foundationalism (possibly Rob) and anti-Foundationalism (Dan and Kevin), and what we do after we try to floor and justify our positions to others.
