Dear Agilists,
I would like to propose a more philosophical theme for a podcast.
We keep talking about Agile, about Waterfall and the differences in-between. To me, this is very similar to the dispute between Rationalism (Descartes, Leibnitz, Spinoza) and Empiricism (Locke, Berkeley, Hume) about the extent to which we are dependent upon sense experience in our effort to gain knowledge. Rationalists claim that there are significant ways in which our concepts and knowledge are gained independently of sense experience. Empiricists claim that sense experience is the ultimate source of all our concepts and knowledge.
Steven West at http://philosophizethis.org/ has an interesting series of podcasts on this topic and would be very interesting to have a cross-over podcast of my favourite 2 podcasts.
What do you think?
Bogdan
