On this episode: Zak and Elizabeth are joined by Scott Hershovitz, author of the book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/639701/nasty-brutish-and-short-by-scott-hershovitz/">Nasty, Brutish and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with My Kids</a> and the director of the Law and Ethics Program and professor of law and philosophy at the University of Michigan. They answer a question from a father who doesn’t know how to answer his curious daughter’s constant questions about everything from the meaning of life to if ants feel pain.
