Collection summary covering past 30 days of combined episodes (AI-generated):
These podcasts cover a diverse array of topics across philosophy, ethics, science, and socio-political issues. Many episodes delve into philosophical inquiries, such as existential questions, the nature of consciousness, and ethical dilemmas. Discussions frequently touch on the works of historical philosophers like Socrates, Nietzsche, and Descartes, offering insights into their thoughts on morality, mind-body dualism, and existential challenges.
Stoicism is another recurring theme, with episodes exploring its principles and applications to modern life. Other episodes address specific philosophical problems, like Newcomb’s paradox and the Trolley Problem, using them to examine ethical reasoning and decision-making.
Several podcasts investigate contemporary societal and cultural issues, including the political climate, democracy, and economic systems. Topics like AI's ethical implications, misinformation in politics, and strategies for combating inequality are commonly featured. Some discussions also focus on how societal narratives, ideologies, and historical perspectives shape current events and public policy.
Science-focused episodes explore groundbreaking topics, such as the cognition of AI, medical advancements, and the study of complex systems. Episodes examining the intersection of science and philosophy probe questions about the scientific method, its history, and philosophical underpinnings.
In a more creative vein, a number of episodes examine intersections between philosophy and literature or film, discussing narrative structures, mythmaking, and the existential and ethical themes within fictional works.
Overall, these podcasts present listeners with a rich tapestry of intellectual content, from classical philosophical debates to the latest developments in science and society, challenging listeners to think deeply and critically about both enduring and contemporary questions.

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.

What Is X?Profile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 25 episodes 2021 to 2022 Median: 62 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Philosophical dialogues • Socratic inquiry • Dialectical exploration • Abstract concepts • Wide-ranging topics • Guest experts • Rational inquiry • Challenges in defining ideas • Accessibility and depth 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...
