On Thursdays, we often feature an interview from our Two for Tea podcast. In this week’s featured conversation, editor-in-chief Iona Italia talks to psychologist Steven Pinker about his most recent book: Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters. You can also find the podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify and most podcast apps.

I love all three of you so I was very pleased to see this podcast available – half way through, I’ll say great job as expected.
Where I’m currently listening, Hume’s famous dictum about reason and the emotions is being discussed. Pinker says he’s vetted his material through his in house philosopher. When I read this part in “Rationality” it grated on me, and I would love to hear what the in house philosopher – another of my top favorite intellectuals – has to say about the view that: Spinoza put forth all these ideas a hundred years before Hume.
