#philsky 30-minute interview with me on Dublin City FM about The Penguin Book of Existentialist Philosophy ::

Excited to be in Cardiff this week to present at the Welsh Aesthetics Forum. I'll be talking about how we can aesthetically appreciate our own epistemic agency, how artworks can help us do this, and how this might (or might not!) boost our cognitive powers. @cardiffphilosophy.bsky.social #philsky
