I’m motivated to ask because in my ethics course this fall I’ve had some dud reading assignments. Readings that are arguably very significant to the field and history of the field, but nonetheless are hard for students to grasp or feel interested about.

Obviously lots of room for disabusing them of perspectives that philosophy is only and ever about first questions or ultimately method-less, but then that’s not very fun at a party. Usually examples are best in that setting (or any setting)!

Also, I don’t often find that saying I’m a philosopher shuts down party convos—much the opposite! People are like, “So, what’s the meaning of life.” Or, if they have familiarity with empirical research, they’ll say, “So can’t anyone just disagree with you and then that’s that?”
