How to Think Like a Philosopher Ep6

Julian Baggini and guests Simon Kirchin and Anil Seth explore how the exemplary habits and principles of the best philosophers can help us to think better.

Anarchism Today

Season 4 Ā· Episode 7

vendredi 4 mars 2022 ā€¢ Duration 40:10

In our tumultuous times, is anarchism a fate to be dreaded or could it actually be part of the solution? In her definitive history of anarchism The Government of No One, Ruth Kinna argues that anarchism in various forms has made a series of challenging contributions to political thought rooted in a belief in freedom and working towards collective good without the interference of the state. She is in conversation with Julian Baggini and Nathan Eisenstadt (Bristol University).

The history of philosophy in English

Season 4 Ā· Episode 6

vendredi 25 fĆ©vrier 2022 ā€¢ Duration 48:28

Jonathan RĆ©e rejects the ā€˜condescending smugnessā€™ of traditional histories of philosophy. In his new history of philosophy in English Witcraft he abandons the standard, tired narratives and presents the history of philosophy as a haphazard series of unmapped forest paths, a mass of individual stories showing endurance, inventiveness, bewilderment, anxiety, impatience, and good humor. Expect the same from this conversation with Julian Baggini, RĆ©e and Andrew Pyle.

My guests were Kate Kirkpatrick, the author of the biographyĀ Becoming Beauvoir: and Jonathan Webber, author ofĀ Rethinking Existentialism. We covered a lot of ground, including the nature and degree of human freedom, whether existentialism was capable of grounding a credible ethics and the revealing differences between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simon de Beavoirā€™s versions of existentialism.

Bryan van Norden and Jin Y. Park are two of the worldā€™s leading philosophers working at the intersection of east and west.
