Agnes Callard: A Philosophy of Change
Maybe we had different political views or no political views at all. Maybe we used to be religious or used not to be. Maybe we now feel deep ties to a place that is spatially, culturally, and linguistically far from where we grew up. Maybe we find our interests and concerns resembling those of our parents more than we ever thought they would. We care about many things that we once did not care about. How did that change come about?"
Agnes Callard is a professor of philosophy and the author of 'Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming," a profound investigation into how and why we change. In this interview she shares her thoughts on self-creation and the philosophy of transformation.
