On episode 233, we welcome Constantine Sandis to
discuss the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, his lifelong
preoccupation with the question of understanding others, the social
and clinical consequences of misunderstanding others,
Wittgenstein’s personal struggles with misunderstanding, criticisms
of empathy and how it may lead to further conflict as opposed to
resolving it, the problem of mind-reading, understanding culture as
opposed to another’s inner drives, and the significance of
self-reflection.
Constantine Sandis is Director of Lex Academic, Visiting Professor
of Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire, and a Fellow of
the Royal Society of Arts. His books include The Things We Do and
Why We Do Them, Philosophy of Action: An Anthology, and Human
Nature, and From Action to Ethics: A Pluralistic Approach to
Reasons and Responsibility. His newest book, available March 11,
2025, is called Wittgenstein on Other Minds: Strangers in a Strange
Land.
