Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Chris Ranali. He's an assistant professor of philosophy at VU Amsterdam, and today we're talking about his book, The Philosophy of Indoctrination, Epistemology, Ethics and Politics. So Dr.

Ranali, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to everyone. Yeah, it's a pleasure to be here as well. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

Okay, great. So why do you think it's important to study indoctrination? Why does it matter? Yeah, it's a great question. It's something I still ask myself if I ad if I admit, but um I guess that's just yeah what philosophers sort of do, always trying to justify uh what it is that we do.
