Scott Hershovitz on his new book, 'Nasty, Brutish, and Short'

Keith is joined by University of Michigan professor of philosophy Scott Hershovitz to discuss his new book, Nasty, Brutish, and Short. The book cuts a fresh path through the scary world of metaphysics and morals, using deft storytelling and a sharp wit to show what philosophy is; why kids are the best philosophers of all; how they can teach us to puzzle through revenge, rights, consciousness, the size of the universe and other daunting mysteries most grown-ups learn to ignore; and finally why the examined life is not only worth living but seriously fun.
