Conversations #9 — Eric Schwitzgebel (Transcript)
A conversation with Professor of Philosophy, Eric Schwitzgebel —
NICHOLAS MCCAY: Hello, everyone. Welcome to Eclectic Spacewalk Conversations. I’m your host Nicholas McCay, and today my guest is Eric Schwitzgebel, Professor of Philosophy at the University of California Riverside, and the author of A Theory of Jerks and Other Philosophical Misadventures. Welcome to Conversations Eric.
ERIC SCHWITZGEBEL: Hey, thanks for having me.
NICHOLAS MCCAY: Where were you originally born?
ERIC SCHWITZGEBEL: I was born originally in Boston, Massachusetts. I lived in Waltham, nearby, until I was age seven. Then we moved out to Thousand Oaks, California, a suburb of LA.
NM: How was that transition for you at an early age, Northeast to Southern California?
ES: I remember waiting on the school bus in the snow, I remember some of my old friends from there, and I remember the nuns at the Catholic elementary school I went to. That’s kind of about it.
NM: What did you want to be when you grew up?
