Philosophy for the People

Aristotle and Us: Homo Politicus | ft. Dr. Sara Brill

| Season 1 | Episode 12 | 

"Philosophy should, at its best, be the shaming of ignorance. Where that shaming is done, there philosophy is..... Shining a light on ignorance provides resources for resistance. Our job is to lend ourselves to the understanding of oppression for the sake of resisting it."

Philosophy, AI and the Future of Thought | ft. Dr. Catherine Malabou

| Season 1 | Episode 11 | 

"Now we have to build new alliances between philosophy and the sciences, philosophy and cybernetics, philosophy and psychology—I think this is the future of philosophy. "

You Are Going To Die | ft. Dr. Simon Critchley

| Season 1 | Episode 10 | 

"This is where I would come back to Philosophy for the People: trying to encourage people to do work which is fearless in relation to what they're actually thinking about; and if that's the weirdest, most eccentric, obscure thing, then to do that and pursue it with complete conviction."

Philosophies of Nothingness | ft. Dr. Gereon Kopf

| Season 1 | Episode 9 | 

"There's a whole wealth of philosophical methods and terminology that can actually enrich the way we have done philosophy in the past in Europe and North American. And that I think is the goal of global philosophy."

Women and Buddhist Philosophy | ft. Dr. Jin Y. Park

| Season 1 | Episode 8 |

"It is true, I believe, that everybody becomes a philosopher when they are in love." 

Critical Thinking and Self-Transformation | ft. Dr. William Bristow

| Season 1 | Episode 7 |

"Insofar as philosophy dismisses us [the public] as not making a legitimate demand for a demonstration, it's consigning itself to being a mere appearance. But philosophy has a right to make a demand upon us as well, and that's where the self-transformational aspect of the message comes in."

Philosophy and Ideology | ft. Bentley Kennedy-Stone

| Season 1 | Episode 06 | 

"All communication is ideological, philosophy included, because its coherency comes by virtue of its embeddedness within an ideological network, and these networks strive toward their own self-propagation."

Strategies for Action: The Bhagavad Gita | ft. Shaila Wadhwani

| Season 1 | Episode 5 | 

"One of the revolutionary aspects of this text is that it brings to the ground, and to the people, a way of bringing spiritual resonance and intellectual resonance into our active daily lives."

Enter the Serpent | ft. Dr. Stephanie Rivera-Berruz

| Season 1 | Episode 4 | 

"Where are we looking for wisdom? What rises to the level of being 'wise'? What rises to the level of knowledge?"

All Things Excellent: Spinoza | ft. Dr. Steven Nadler

| Season 1 | Episode 03 |

"For Spinoza, reason provides you truth, but it also provides you happiness, well-being, a peace of mind and tranquility."

Experimental Metaphysics | ft. Dr. James Bahoh

| Season 1 | Episode 02 |

"Just the move of turning our minds to think about our own existence—in a careful and reflective way—means that we step into the project of what philosophy does."

Philosophy as a Way of Life | ft. Dr. Ryan Duns

| Season 1 | Episode 01 | 

"Look at yourself. Let yourself—let your body, let your actions—testify to you. That will be the living work. It's not the volumes you wrote pen and paper. It's the volumes you're writing because you're interacting with people."
