Episode Synopsis ""What is knowledge?"- "Metaphysics" Book A.1"

The first episode of our first series, wherein Adam and Ada Voight discuss Aristotle's introduction the the fundamental problems of knowledge, reality, life, and the good. We are discussing chapter 1 of Book I of the "Metaphysics".If you have not read our text, don't worry, neither did Ada, but we still learned a lot and had fun. In fact, one of Aristotle's main topics is how good and enjoyable learning is, and how learning EVERYTHING all at once (i.e. the study of "Wisdom") is the best of all.
