509. What’s it all about? (Philosophy and Language Learning)

Об эпизоде

<p>This episode is all about philosophy and how this applies to language learning. Listen to me describing 8 different 'schools' of philosophical thought. Are <em>hedonists</em> good language learners? How do <em>rationalists</em> and <em>empiricists</em> disagree about how we learn languages? Is language learning <em>an innate ability</em> or just something that can only happen as a result of things we do after we're born?  And, how does philosophy answer life's big questions such as, "What's life all about?" "What are we doing here?" and "What shall we have for dinner?"
