Collection summary covering past 30 days of combined episodes (AI-generated):
These podcasts are largely centered on philosophy as both an academic discipline and a practical way of thinking through contemporary life. A recurring focus is the ethical, political, and epistemic upheaval associated with artificial intelligence: how AI reshapes scientific inquiry and publication, who bears responsibility for autonomous agents and AI-caused harms, whether machines can develop context-sensitive normative capacities, and how deepfakes and synthetic text complicate truth, trust, and expertise. Several conversations connect AI to broader social structures—institutions, law, surveillance, work, education, and the attention economy—asking how technology mediates agency and moral character.
Another major thread is mind and meaning. Across episodes, listeners encounter debates about consciousness (including animal consciousness), attention, dreaming, the self, resilience, and the possibility of virtual worlds, simulations, and mind uploading. Related discussions probe the nature of time, mortality, suffering, and what makes a life meaningful, often drawing on both analytic argument and existential or religious traditions.
Ethics is treated in concrete domains: medicine and bioethics (healthcare algorithms, bias in devices, vaccine and drug access, assisted dying), family and reproduction (IVF, procreation, parenting, attachment), sexuality (infidelity, sexual preferences, sexlessness), and punishment and state power (torture, legal injustice, constitutional questions). Political philosophy and social criticism also feature prominently, including nationalism, populism, short-termism in democracy, climate justice, homelessness, labor, and debates over gender.
Alongside these themes, some episodes explore non-mainstream or “esoteric” currents—mysticism, magic, divination, and UAPs—often treated historically or philosophically, as well as philosophy through film, literature, and art. Overall, these podcasts favor long-form interviews and close readings that connect classic texts and thinkers to present-day dilemmas.

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 dialogues defining big and everyday concepts • metaphysics and mind: being, time, consciousness, dreams, memory, matter, numbers • ethics and society: virtue, love, friendship, gender, slurs, mental health • culture: art, poetry, punk, authorship, criticism • politics: war, conspiracy theories, money 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-10 12:24 UTC): Part 5: Questions and Answers |
