➤ Philosophy and mental health • Identity and memory • Technology and society • Cultural perspectives • Ethical considerations • Social justice and equity • Interdisciplinary research • Personal growth and traumaThis podcast presents a rich tapestry of philosophical inquiry, offering listeners a diverse exploration of themes related to mental health, memory, and socio-cultural issues. Rooted in philosophical perspectives, the series examines mental health from unconventional angles, questioning dominant paradigms and introducing new frameworks like “madness-as-strategy.” The podcast navigates the complex relationship between spirituality, religion, and mental health, seeking to expand explanatory approaches to mental disorders and cognitive disabilities.
Listeners can explore issues surrounding race and mental health, addressing ethnic inequalities and the structural factors contributing to disparate experiences of mental distress. The series also delves into the philosophical dimensions of memory, probing how technology and social platforms impact our recollection and identities. Inquiries into the nature of forgiveness, trauma, and personal identity further highlight the ethical and existential implications of remembering and forgetting.
The podcast is committed to interdisciplinary dialogue, integrating insights from psychology, psychiatry, social sciences, and humanities to provide a comprehensive understanding of mental health and human experience. Themes such as the ethics of anger and shame, the cultural import of emotions, and the interpretive frameworks of external philosophies like Buddhism and Confucianism reveal a global philosophical engagement.
Discussions extend to the responsibilities of hospitality, the narratives of trauma, and the philosophical storytelling that shapes our understanding of philosophical ideas. Overall, this podcast aims to reframe and broaden current debates, offering listeners insight into both enduring and emerging philosophical discourses that challenge conventional beliefs and inspire reconsideration of personal and collective identities.
