Collection summary covering past 30 days of combined episodes (AI-generated):
The podcasts in this collection cover a broad spectrum of philosophical, ethical, and social themes, delving into both contemporary issues and classical theories. Many episodes explore weighty philosophical concepts such as existentialism, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Discussions frequently center on well-known philosophers and their works, including Nietzsche, Fanon, Camus, and Kant, scrutinizing their contributions and relevance to modern thought.
A recurring theme across these podcasts is the examination of moral philosophy and its application to real-world problems. Topics such as the ethics of artificial intelligence, the fairness and legitimacy of political systems, and the moral implications of violence are frequently discussed. Additionally, the interplay between individual psychological development and societal influences is a common focus, manifesting in conversations about the nature of selfhood, mental health, and the impact of social and political structures on personal identity.
Several episodes address the interface between philosophy and other disciplines, particularly science. These include discussions on the philosophical underpinnings of scientific theories, like quantum mechanics and evolutionary biology, and how these theories intersect with concepts of consciousness, free will, and intelligence. The analysis often extends to the role of philosophy in interpreting and understanding scientific advancements and their broader implications for humanity.
Furthermore, there is a notable emphasis on socio-political issues, particularly the rise of far-right movements in Europe, the ethics of social justice, and the challenges posed by neoliberal capitalism. Questions of democracy, political legitimacy, and the dynamics of power and governance are thoroughly explored, offering listeners insights into current political climates through a philosophical lens.
Interspersed within are episodes that link philosophy with cultural and historical contexts, such as the biographies and influence of historical figures, philosophical interpretations of art and literature, and the role of philosophy in education. These podcasts thus provide a comprehensive and diverse array of discussions catering to enthusiasts of philosophical inquiry and its application to various aspects of human experience.

We'll walk you line by line through the six books of Lucretius' poem, and we'll discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. In this podcast we won't be talking about modern political issues. How you apply Epicurus in your own life is entirely up to you. Over at the Epicureanfriends.com web forum, we apply this approach by following a set of ground rules we call "Not Neo-Epicurean, But Epicurean." Epicurean philosophy is not a religion, it''s not Stoicism, it's not Humanism, it's not Libertarianism, it's not Atheism, and it's not Marxism or any other philosophy - it is unique in the history of Western Civilization, and as we explore Lucretius's poem you'll quickly see how that is the case. The home page of this podcast is LucretiusToday.com, and there you can find a free copy of the version of the poem from which we are reading, and links to where you can discuss the poem between episodes at Epicureanfriends.com.

The second stream, entitled Epistemic Unruliness, consists of interviews and discussions with activists, artists, and academics whose “disobedient” work builds upon the themes of that arise in the texts we discuss and in our ongoing podcast conversations.

What Is X?Profile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 25 episodes 2021 to 2022 Median: 62 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Socratic inquiries • philosophical questions • definitions of abstract concepts • dialectical discussions • expert guests • topics like money, love, consciousness, and humor • insights into various fields Description (podcaster-provided): “What Is X?” has been described as “a cross between a Platonic dialogue and ‘The Price Is Right.’” It combines dialectical inquiry of the sort perfected by Socrates and his interlocutors with a distinctly ludic spirit. Here’s how it works: For each episode, host Justin E. H. Smith invites on a guest distinguished in their field (or occasionally a “regular” person who really likes to talk). Smith asks the guest to answer a question of the form “What is X?” (for example, “What is beauty?” “What is nature?” “What are dreams?”), after which the two partners in dialogue undertake a Socratic inquiry into the nature of X, in search of a definition that satisfies both of them. There are three possible outcomes: agreement, disagreement, and aporia (Greek for “dead end”), each with its own sound effect: if we arrive at agreement, a church bell will chime; disagreement is signaled by a bleating goat; if aporia is the best we can do, we will hear naught but a gust of wind. Rigorous but freewheeling, fun and serious at once, accessibly highbrow, these conversations model rational inquiry in a new way, providing answers for truth-seekers... or perhaps just more questions. /// Host: Justin E.H.

Where, after all, would we be without it? But what exactly is it? These days many people believe the mind simply is the brain. Descartes would have disagreed profoundly. He recommended a dualism of substance. Modern philosophers are again finding various forms of dualism attractive because the problems with physicalism are so intractable. One such problem is whether the mind, like the brain, is located in space (specifically inside the head). But does philosophy have anything sensible to say about the mind? Surely today it is scientists we should be listening to? Come and find out why this is – and always will be – false. Latest episode (2012-Apr-16 12:15 UTC): Further reading and more...
