The Changing Face of Antisemitism LIVE with Francesca Trivellato
20
May 2022
Antisemitism is an old problem with roots that reach back to medieval Europe. While earlier forms focused more on religious bigotry, antisemitism became increasingly racialized and politicized in the modern period. So what is the connection between older ideas about Jews and Judaism, and contemporary antisemitic tropes and stereotypes? How are fears about Jewish invisibility and global control related to the emergence of finance capitalism? And what can history teach us about how to confront antisemitism today?

Oct 2019
In the U.S. there are over 500 sanctuary cities—municipalities that limit their cooperation with the federal government’s immigration law enforcement. Although opponents portray sanctuary cities as besieged by crime, empirical data does not support such claims. But what actually justifies sanctuary policies in the first place? Do appeals to public health or safety warrant these measures?

May 2019
The doctrine of mutually assured destruction is supposed to deter both sides in a war from launching the first nuclear strike. However, the strategy of the US, NATO, and other super powers has been to plan the destruction of nearly all life on Earth. Can there be any moral justification for plausibly threatening a nuclear holocaust? And now that we’ve gotten ourselves in this situation, is there any realistic and ethical way out? Join our live audience at Stanford to record a new episode of Philosophy Talk with writer, activist, and whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg!

Feb 2019
Authority can refer to people or institutions that have the political power to make decisions, give orders, and enforce rules. It can also refer to a certain kind of expertise or knowledge that we might defer to. Sometimes we respect authority, and sometimes we resist it or even revolt against it. But where exactly does authority come from, and when, if ever, ought we defer to it? Join our live audience at The Marsh in San Francisco to record a new episode of Philosophy Talk with political scientist James Martel!

Feb 2019
人类在进化过程中拥有各种各样的感官——嗅觉、视觉、触觉等——这些感官提供了关于我们周围世界的信息。我们的大脑利用这些感官信息构建出一幅特定的现实画面。但是，如果在技术上有可能破解我们的大脑，为人类创造新的感官，比如回声定位或磁感应，会怎么样呢?我们的大脑如何整合这种新信息?这些新奇的感官会如何改变我们对现实的看法?加入我们在旧金山沼泽的现场观众，录制新一期的与神经学家大卫·依格曼的哲学谈话!中国伊朗亚洲杯比赛直播

07
Sep 2018
To an optimist, things are constantly getting better: disease and extreme poverty are down; life expectancy, literacy, and equality are up; and it’s all thanks to the glory of human reason. But a pessimist would point to the continuing presence of injustice, oppression, and war, and the dangers of global warming and nuclear annihilation. So who's right? Are we really living in an age of progress? And can reason really save us? Join the live audience at Kepler's Books to record a new episode of Philosophy Talk with renowned cognitive scientist Steven Pinker!

Read moreThe Philosophy of Retirement: LIVE with Guest John Perry
10
Nov 2017
Join our live audience to celebrate the wit and wisdom of John Perry!Many of us look forward to retirement, that time in life when we stop working for a living. But what exactly is retirement and why do we retire? Does retirement always mean an end to work, or can it sometimes just mean a shift to a different kind of work? Should we retire for purely selfish reasons, such as to give ourselves more leisure time? Or should we retire for the public good, to give younger people greater opportunities for employment?

May 2017
Join our live audience! Autonomous vehicles are quickly emerging as the next innovation that will change society in radical ways. Champions of this new technology say that driverless cars, which are programmed to obey the law and avoid collisions, will be safer than human controlled vehicles. But how do we program these vehicles to act ethically? Should we trust computer programmers to determine the most ethical response to all possible scenarios the vehicle might encounter? And who should be held responsible for the bad − potentially lethal − decisions these cars make?

Apr 2017
Join us for a live taping of our Nonhuman Rights show Human rights—like freedom from discrimination and slavery—are fundamental rights and freedoms that every person enjoys simply because they're human. But what about other animals, like monkeys, elephants, and dolphins? Should they enjoy similar fundamental rights? If we can extend the legal notion of personhood to inanimate, abstract objects like corporations, then shouldn’t we also extend it to other sentient creatures?
