About this episode

David and Tamler discuss Gogol's 'The Overcoat' and a forthcoming article on philosophical facts.

David and Tamler return to the strange world of Nikolai Gogol and discuss his absurdist masterpiece "The Overcoat," a story that both calls for and steadfastly resists interpretation. But first we discuss a forthcoming Phil Studies article "Philosophy as Fact-Based Discipline: 200 Philosophical Facts." Wait until you hear what they are. Frances, B. (2026). Philosophy as fact-based discipline: 200 philosophical facts. Philosophical Studies , 183 (2), 551-581. [springer.com] The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol [wikipedia.org]
