Description

Today we take a look at a favorite contemporary philosopher named Matthew Crawford. Crawford is a political theorist-turned-motorcycle technician, writer, and (I argue) model pagan. I go over Crawford's three books and what they're all about:

• Shop Class as Soulcraft - a polemical defense of manual competence
• The World Beyond Your Head - an exploration of our crisis of attention and how we might go about defining our way out of it
• Why We Drive - a book defending the importance of self-motion against a philosophy that seeks to turn us from drivers into passengers in our lives

You can find Matthew Crawford's shorter essays on his website.
