In this episode
Have you ever watched a tiny ant carrying a crumb and wondered... what is it actually doing? What is the point of it all? That little mental jolt you just felt is the biggest question ever asked: What is the purpose of life? In this amazing episode of Philosophy is Not Boring, Mira and Finn go on a global adventure to find the answer!
First, we look at science! Biology tells us our drive is survival, like passing the baton in a giant relay race of life. But human beings do so much more than just survive—we build spaceships and tell ridiculous jokes! That's where philosophers come in! We travel back to Ancient Greece where Aristotle talks about "eudaemonia"—flourishing and growing your mind like a mighty oak tree. Then, we explore the beautiful Southern African philosophy of "Ubuntu," which means we find our purpose by caring for our community and playing as a team! Finally, we travel to Japan to learn about "Ikigai," discovering the sweet spot between what you love doing and what the world needs.
Join us to learn why finding your purpose is an exciting adventure!
