In this episode, we welcome Dr. Louise Antony, professor emerita at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has made foundational contributions to philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and feminist philosophy, among other fields, and we have a wide-ranging conversation -- about intellectual honesty, metaphors, and collaboration in a field that's often seen as solitary.
