Description (podcaster-provided):

New Voices is a podcast from the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy Partnership, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. newnarrativesinphilosophy.net
This podcast consists of conversations about philosophers from groups that have been underrepresented and excluded in the history of European and Western philosophy: their views, what is interesting and unique about them, and how they fit in to the periods that they were apart of. We also talk about what it is actually like to learn about and promote these ideas as a philosopher today: what benefits there are, what challenges there are, and just how to get going on this work.

This podcast, titled "New Voices in the History of Philosophy," offers engaging discussions on philosophers from underrepresented and historically excluded groups within European and Western philosophy. It primarily focuses on revealing the unique perspectives and contributions of these philosophers, exploring their ideas on topics including abolitionism, education, feminism, and political philosophy. The discussions delve into the works of figures often overlooked in traditional philosophical canons, shedding light on how their ideas intersect with issues of colonization, race, and identity.

The podcast features interviews with a range of scholars who have dedicated their research to uncovering and analyzing these marginalized voices. Through these episodes, listeners are introduced to the thoughts and legacies of diverse philosophers ranging from 18th-century abolitionists to early modern women scientists and 19th-century Brazilian thinkers. The show hosts discuss multifaceted critiques of societal structures such as slavery and patriarchy, explore philosophical arguments surrounding topics like empathy, morality, and metaphysics, and examine the various ways these philosophies can inform and challenge contemporary thought.

Furthermore, the podcast addresses the broader context of studying these neglected philosophers today, offering insights into the challenges and benefits of such scholarly pursuits. Themes of comparative philosophy, the impact of cultural narratives, and the relevance of philosophical history to modern-day issues are recurrent. Through this exploration, the podcast seeks to extend the narrative by highlighting the contributions of philosophers whose works have traditionally been marginalized or overlooked, and it illuminates how these voices fit into both historical contexts and modern philosophical discourse.
