Philosophy For Our Times - A podcast by The Institute of Art and Ideas

Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimes Aristotle said that we "acquire a particular quality by acting a certain way" - he believed that you could fake it 'til you make it. But is this a reductive understanding of confidence? Are we right to desire confidence, or should we reimagine our understanding of it? WIRED editor and author Rowland Manthorpe examines our self-belief, from Nietzsche to now, and proposes a more collaborative definition of confidence.
