Paul Maslov Karlsson: Fact and Fiction – Truth and Meaning in the Arts #15
Paul Maslov Karlsson is a philosopher, currently writing his doctoral thesis at Uppsala University, Sweden. We talk deeply with him about the concepts of fact and fiction, what their characteristics are, and whether there can be said to exist a meaningful distinction between them.
Myth, scientism, art and conspiracy theory are all given their due in this fascinating conversation. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.
