Emily and Kyle discuss the quality of what, this, that, and the other thing as they explore the confusing but useful word, quiddity.
Our hosts dive into the nitty gritties of metaphysics philosophy from both Ancient Greece and Medieval Europe. Reality starts to unravel as Kyle and Emily talk about the works of Aristotle, the essence of an individual, and the nature of being.
In addition to this word for the “whatness” of a thing, it turns out metaphysics philosophers have words for “thisness,” “thatness,” and more. And quiddity itself has plenty to effer as well, encompassing definitions for the quibbling, the quippy, and the quirky.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
