Street Socratics #6 - Valerie: "My Identity Depends on Other People" | Street Epistemology SE
Channel: Street Socratics
Date: 27/06/2018

Valerie is a philosophy professor who believes that her identity depends on the interactions and co-existence with other people in her life. She describes her belief in opposition to "the way it has been" which emphasises individualism, and believes this has led to people not knowing how to live in relation to each other and has had catastrophic results.

My thoughts:

Valerie was fun to talk to! She was open and honest about her belief being personal and subjective, and since she is a philosophy professor it was easier to navigate her epistemology - I didn't dig very deep here, as Valerie was with someone and I didn't want to take too much of their time, so I tried to keep things light and enjoyable. Some word salad on my part at one point, but I recovered from that after a bit.
