I believe that everyone is at least a little bit of a philosopher. Sure, not everyone dresses up their thoughts in technical language, but everyone has beliefs about what is ethical to do, or what exists in the universe, or what happiness is. Thus I believe it is important to engage people in philosophical conversation outside the boundaries of academia; that is my commitment to public philosophy.
