Adrian Moore on Philosophy and Its History

Why isn't studying the history of philosophy like a visit to a museum of outmoded ideas? The history of early science doesn't usually inform contemporary science? Why is philosophy so different in this respect? Adrian Moore, author of a new book on the history of philosophy, The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics, explores these ideas in conversation with Nigel Warburton in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast.
