Collection summary covering past 30 days of combined episodes (AI-generated):
These podcasts cover a range of philosophical topics, exploring both historical and contemporary issues. Many episodes delve into traditional philosophical concepts such as virtue, morality, and ethics, often examining the ideas of renowned philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. The exploration includes discussions on moral luck, stoicism, and theories of consciousness, reflecting on both their historical contexts and modern applications.
Another prominent theme is the intersection of philosophy with current societal and cultural challenges. Episodes investigate topics like the ethics of technology, media influence, and political ideologies. Discussions on modern phenomena such as AI, social media, and conspiracy theories are common, highlighting the philosophical implications of technological advancement and information dissemination. This theme extends to episodes on the philosophy of politics, examining issues like youth crime policies, the nature of government, and post-liberal critiques of liberal democracy.
Several episodes also focus on niche areas within philosophy, such as the philosophical significance of art, different cultural philosophies, and the philosophy of language. Unique approaches include the analysis of literary works through a philosophical lens, discussions on the philosophy of science and mathematics, and the critical examination of societal narratives through philosophical inquiry.
Overall, these podcasts are a confluence of classic philosophical debates and timely discussions on contemporary issues, aiming to bridge traditional thought with modern dilemmas. They provide insight into how philosophical frameworks can apply to the ethical, social, and cultural questions arising in today's rapidly evolving world.

Lucretius Today - Epicurus and Epicurean PhilosophyProfile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 310 episodes 2020 to 2025 Median: 52 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Epicurean philosophy • Lucretius' "On The Nature of Things" • Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" • Ancient philosophy vs. modern application • Pleasure vs. virtue • Nature of happiness, pain, death Description (podcaster-provided): Lucretius Today is a podcast dedicated to learning Epicurean philosophy through study of the poet Lucretius, who lived in the age of Julius Caesar and wrote "On The Nature of Things," the only complete presentation of Epicurus' ideas left to us from the ancient world. 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.

Across the semester we will see why existentialism, with its focus on the ambiguities and ambivalences of lived-experience, had such a deep impact on Black thinkers across the diaspora.

What Is X?Profile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 25 episodes 2021 to 2022 Median: 62 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Socratic inquiry • Philosophical discussions • Concepts like reality, consciousness, and identity • Intellectual exploration • Diverse expert guests • Engaging dialogue • Complex themes • Rational inquiry 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.

A Romp Through the Philosophy of MindProfile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 5 episodes 2012 Median: 82 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Philosophy of mind • Dualism vs. physicalism • Identity theory critique • Non-reductive physicalisms • Alternative theories • Questioning assumptions • Interactive Q&A • Suggested further reading Description (podcaster-provided): The mind is a fascinating entity. 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-10 12:24 UTC): Part 5: Questions and Answers |
