Daniel Kelly: Things That Make You Go Ewww

This week on The Grindstone we are joined by Dr. Daniel Kelly, Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Purdue University. Dr. Kelly shares his journey to a career in philosophy (inspired, in part, by his desire to organize his thoughts more effectively), his interest in the epistemic foundations of modern science and naturalistic approaches to philosophy of mind, the history of naturalism in philosophy, and the interplay between the scientific image and the manifest image. We also take a deep dive into repulsion and morality, which Dr. Kelly expounds in his book Yuck! The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust. The latter discussion leads to some candid thoughts from Matthew regarding the Green Bay Packer’s color scheme. Also, Dr. Kelly makes the bold claim that When Harry Met Sally is the original rom-com!Dr. Kelly was a 2018-19 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, where he continued his interdisciplinary research in moral psychology.
