Collection summary covering past 30 days of combined episodes (AI-generated):
These podcasts span a wide range of contemporary and historical philosophy, often anchored in interviews, close readings, and applied debates. A major throughline is moral psychology and normative ethics: discussions examine forgiveness (including self-forgiveness), theories of well-being and ill-being, duties to animals, addiction, pornography, and the ethics of assisted dying. Several episodes treat ethical life as something shaped by social roles, institutions, and power—connecting questions about justice, reciprocity, policing, free speech, and education to broader concerns about trust, indoctrination, and social cohesion.
Another prominent cluster centers on mind and consciousness. Listeners will encounter philosophical and scientific approaches to pain, mental imagery and aphantasia, self-consciousness, dreams, depression, and competing theories about what consciousness is and whether it can be explained by the brain alone. Related episodes probe whether artificial intelligence could be conscious, whether AI systems can have moral worth, how “alignment” and autonomy apply to advanced AI, and how algorithmic systems function as authorities in workplaces and public life.
Political philosophy and public affairs appear frequently, with attention to authoritarianism, fascism, culture war dynamics, and the legitimacy of war and violence, including analyses of contemporary geopolitics and nuclear risk. These issues are often framed through classic thinkers (e.g., Hobbes, Kant, Hegel, Arendt) as well as non-Western traditions and global perspectives, including Chinese “Legalist” thought, Daoist and Confucian themes, African philosophy of religion, and Indian materialism and skepticism.
Across the mix are episodes that use literature, film, fairy tales, and performance as philosophical laboratories, alongside programs devoted to practical traditions like Stoicism and Epicureanism for everyday resilience, attention, and character.

Lucretius Today - Epicurus and Epicurean PhilosophyProfile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 328 episodes 2020 to 2026 Median: 51 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Epicurean philosophy via Lucretius and Cicero • pleasure vs virtue as highest good • absence of pain debate • happiness amid pain and emotions • fear of death • critique of Platonism, Stoicism, Socrates • epistemology, inference, divisibility 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.

What Is X?Profile • Site • RSS • Apple Podcasts 25 episodes 2021 to 2022 Median: 62 minutes Collection: Philosophy Themes (AI-generated): Socratic-style dialogues defining big concepts • metaphysics and philosophy of mind • ethics and politics • language and culture • art, criticism, poetry • math and numbers • history and memory • money, war, gender, mental health 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-10 12:24 UTC): Part 5: Questions and Answers |
