His areas of specialization include epistemology and metaphysics. He’s the author of books like Metaphysics, A Companion to Relativism, Nietzsche’s Perspectivism, and This Is Philosophy. In this episode, we talk about the philosophy of luck, and relativism. First, we discuss what is luck from a philosophical perspective, including the differences between epistemic and moral luck and the most prominent theories of luck. We also refer to some of the ways people tend to think about luck, according to the time frame and their worldviews. In the second part of the discussion, we talk abut relativism, is relationship with perspectivism and approaches to morality and moral relativism. -- Follow Dr. Hales’ work: Faculty page/Website: https://bit.ly/2HvPi1A Articles of Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2XwFycV Books: https://amzn.to/2TzhI1P Referenced/relevant books: Metaphysics: Contemporary Readings: https://amzn.to/2CjvQln A Companion to Relativism: https://amzn.to/2JbihdH Nietzsche's Perspectivism: https://amzn.to/2F2xpET This Is Philosophy: An Introduction: https://amzn.to/2TwiBbw -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, JUSTIN WATERS, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK AND AIRES ALMEIDA!
