These podcasts encompass a diverse array of philosophical and intellectual topics, featuring discussions that traverse the realms of science, ethics, politics, literature, and culture. Central to many episodes is the exploration of classic and modern philosophical ideas, engaging with both historical figures such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Kant, and contemporary thinkers. These discussions often delve into practical applications of philosophy, including Stoicism's relevance in modern life, the intersection of philosophy and psychology, and the ethical implications of emerging technologies like AI.
A recurring theme is the interaction between philosophy and everyday life, with episodes addressing existential and social issues such as personal identity, freedom, and moral obligations in our interconnected world. Some episodes are dedicated to critiquing societal structures, politics, and cultural phenomena, providing analyses of ideologies, capitalism, and authoritarianism. There are also explorations of philosophical aspects in storytelling, art, and media, covering topics like literature's moral dimension and the influence of narratives on culture.
Several episodes examine scientific and metaphysical questions, such as the nature of consciousness, the philosophy of science, and the implications of quantum mechanics. Others engage with environmental and evolutionary topics, highlighting the philosophical dimensions of climate change, biodiversity, and human evolution. Across these podcasts, listeners are invited to engage with intellectual challenges and reconsider cultural assumptions, providing philosophical insights that blend academic rigor with accessible dialogue.

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. Latest episode (2025-Jan-22 19:30 UTC): Episode 264 - "Bread and Water!!?? Debunking the Myth of Epicurean Asceticism" |

The course introduces one of the most important and potent mid-century intellectual movements - the existentialist movement - through a series of black Atlantic thinkers. 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. We will see these existentialist insights register in literature, philosophy, and film. Old and new. Latest episode (2023-Apr-27 20:18 UTC): Jenkins on Masculinity, Touch, and Vulnerability |

What Is X?Profile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 25 episodes 2021 to 2022 Median: 62 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Philosophical inquiry • Socratic dialogue • Fundamental concepts • Varied topics like wisdom, reality, society • Intellectual exploration • Guests from diverse fields • Engaging questions • Dialectical investigation 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...
