Michael Huemer returns to the show to talk about basic philosophical problems in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.

## Shownotes:

Michael Huemer spends the show addressing many controversial philosophical questions; How can we know about the world outside our minds? Is there a God? Do we have free will? Are there objective values? What distinguishes morally right from morally wrong actions?

Why do people question the value of general philosophical knowledge? Why should people try to be rational?
