Slate Books - Mom and Dad Are Fighting: Nasty, Brutish and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with My Kids
On this episode: Zak and Elizabeth are joined by Scott Hershovitz, author of the book Nasty, Brutish and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with My Kids and the director of the Law and Ethics Program and professor of law and philosophy at the University of Michigan.
