Philosophy Talk
philosophy talk
Philosophy on the radio? You’ve got to be kidding? Well, sometimes we do (kid, that is). Mostly we look at today’s important ideas with an eye to thinking them through.
Philosophy Talk is a weekly, one-hour radio series. The hosts’ down-to-earth and no-nonsense approach brings the richness of philosophic thought to everyday subjects. Topics are lofty (Truth, Beauty, Justice), arresting (Terrorism, Intelligent Design, Suicide), and engaging (Baseball, Love, Happiness).
This is not a lecture or a college course; it’s philosophy in action!
Philosophy Talk is a fun opportunity to explore issues of importance to your audience in a thoughtful, friendly fashion, where thinking is encouraged.
