Hello, everybody. Welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Christopher Hoyt. He's an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Western Carolina University. His research interests include Witgenstein and the philosophy of film, and today we're going to talk about uh some of the philosophy of Ludwig Vittgenstein, uh how it relates to some uh topic that people explore in the philosophy of mind and also the cognitive science of religion. So Doctor Hoyt, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to everyone. Thank you very much, Ricardo.
I I appreciate the invitation. So uh I mean of course this is also a question for uh my audience who doesn't know about Wittgenstein very much or are not uh familiar with his filosophy uh what aspects of Wittgenstein's philosophy interest you the most? And perhaps then we can talk about the ones that apply to the topics we're going to explore here. Tutaj. Sure.
Um I mean l like most people who study Wittgenstein as as long and uh intensively as I have. My interests move around through so many different themes that he covers. Um
