Navigating Midlife Crises: Insights from Contemporary Philosophy

In this video, Professor Paul Blaschko from the University of Notre Dame presents an in-depth analysis of the philosophical perspectives outlined in Kieran Setiya’s book /”Midlife./”

Professor Blaschko sheds light on the concept of midlife crises and life crises in general, taking us on a philosophical journey into understanding these periods of upheaval. He critically examines how experiencing such crises can profoundly alter our self-perception and worldview.

The discussion delves deeper as Blaschko argues that reflecting on these crises provides invaluable self-knowledge. By exploring our attitudes—our beliefs, desires, and judgments—we can harness these insights for personal growth and the pursuit of a better, more fulfilling life.

This video is a must-watch for anyone navigating the challenges of midlife, those interested in philosophy or psychology, or individuals seeking to derive meaning from their life experiences. It provides a compelling argument for using philosophical reflection as a tool for understanding and overcoming personal crises.
