Studio One will feature a philosopher and collision repair


Jack Weinstein, associate professor at UND and author, says philosophy is asking about things people take for granted and looking for an explanation. He says he wants to spread the word about philosophy and travels to communities speaking on thought and reason. He also has a radio show to educate others about how philosophy can impact everyone. Weinstein explains that even the economy has an effect on people’s philosophy because they tend to be more pessimistic and take fewer risks. Find out more about Weinstein’s views on how philosophy can influence everyday life.

Also on the show, spend a day in the life of Bryan Renner, an auto collision repairman. He says he enjoys his job because “it’s something different; every collision is unique, there’s no two the same.” Even the way customers show their appreciation for Renner’s work is unique. Learn how Renner uses his skills when working with collisions and customers on this week’s episode of Studio One.
