Jody Azzouni is Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University.
While Jody is best known for his nominalist stance in the
philosophy of mathematics, he is also an author of fiction,
non-fiction, and poetry. This is Jody’s third appearance on the
show. On his first appearance, episode #45, he and Robinson spoke
about the debate between nominalists and platonists in the
philosophy of mathematics, Jody’s own deflationary stance, and
some adjacent concerns about ontological commitment in both
formal and informal languages. On his second appearance, episode
#75, they spoke about logic, natural languages, and formal
languages, and mathematics. And in this episode, they shift
topics entirely, discussing Jody’s upcoming book, Challenging
Knowledge, which develops an original account in epistemology
that seeks to thwart skeptic challenges, and which also builds
off of Jody’s most recent book, Attributing Knowledge: What it
Means to Know Something (Oxford, 2020).
