These podcasts explore a wide array of philosophical, cultural, and scientific topics. Many episodes delve into classical and contemporary philosophical discourse, examining figures such as Nietzsche, Epicurus, and Simone Weil, as well as movements like Stoicism and existentialism. Discussions often focus on complex moral and ethical questions, such as the nature of consciousness, free will, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. The interplay between technology and humanity is extensively addressed, including debates on AI ethics, the implications of digitalization, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines.
Several episodes consider the philosophical underpinnings of psychology and neuroscience, particularly in relation to how perceptions and emotions shape human behavior. The episodes also explore the significance of literature and the arts, with analyses of works by philosophers and thinkers like Wittgenstein and Bergson. A recurring theme is how philosophical concepts manifest in everyday life, allowing listeners to reflect on practical applications of abstract theories.
Political philosophy and social issues receive attention, with episodes analyzing the justice system, political theory, and the dynamics of interpersonal and international relations. The podcasts also address historical and cultural studies, often revisiting past events to draw parallels with contemporary issues. Throughout these conversations, there is an emphasis on critical thinking and the importance of questioning prevailing assumptions.

Lucretius Today - Epicurus and Epicurean PhilosophyProfile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 272 episodes 2020 to 2025 Median: 52 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Epicurean philosophy exploration • Lucretius analysis and study • Key doctrines of Epicurus • Application to modern life • Debates on pleasure, virtue, and ethics • Critiques of rival philosophies 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.

Our keystone will be Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks, which is arguably the most important work of Black existentialism from this period. 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 • philosophy • exploration of abstract concepts • diverse guests • wide-ranging topics • rational dialogue • intellectual curiosity • probing questions 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. Smith (justinehsmith.substack.com) /// Presented by The Point Magazine (thepointmag.com) Latest episode (2022-Dec-14 23:00 UTC): What Is Being? | Kris McDaniel |

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...
