Description (podcaster-provided):
Love and Philosophy Beyond Dichotomy started as research conversations across disciplines. There was so much I wanted to explore that I was being told I shouldn't explore because it didn't fit into this or that discipline, but because I study and work in so many, those barriers no longer made sense. The same felt true relative to passions and love.Themes and summary (AI-generated based on podcaster-provided show and episode descriptions):
