About this listen

Philosophical Paths is a podcast for anyone who has reached a point in life where the deeper questions can no longer be ignored.

There are maps for almost everything — careers, achievement, and getting ahead — but almost none for how to live well. That’s where philosophy comes in. Not the academic kind, but philosophy as a pathfinder for meaning, direction, and clarity.

Hosted by Ian Macfarlane, Philosophical Paths explores the questions that surface in midlife and beyond:

  • Is this really the life I chose — or the one I drifted into?
  • What matters now, given the time and experience I have?
  • How do I live with purpose, steadiness, and depth?

Each episode blends timeless insight with practical reflection — offering tools to help you shape your own philosophy of life, one grounded in understanding, agency, and becoming.

This is a space for thoughtful adults navigating change, uncertainty, and the desire for a life lived on purpose.

Let’s walk together.

This episode is part of *Philosophical Paths* — where we navigate life with wisdom and wit.
