    EP. 16｜義戰論｜軍事介入別國正義嗎？戰爭喺咩情況下先合乎正義？｜淺談 《Just and Unjust Wars》

    今集淺談義戰論（ Just War Theory）同關於人道干預（ humanitarian intervention）嘅政治哲學討論。究竟戰爭咩情況先合乎正義？咩情況之下先可以用軍事手段干預另一個國家？如果一個國家嘅動機不純，咁又有冇問題呢？今集嘅討論會集中喺義戰論嘅經典著作，Michael Walzer嘅《Just and Unjust Wars》。 Today's episode discusses Just War Theory especially in relation to the topic of humanitarian intervention. What are the conditions of a just war? When can a country legitimately intervene militarily into another country? What if a country's intentions and motives are "impure"? We will discuss all these with reference to Michael Walzer's Just and Unjust Wars, a classic on the topic. 參考書目 References： Walzer, Michael.

    EP. 15｜政哲影評｜Zootopia 優獸市真係動物烏托邦？｜《優獸大都會》與種族多元的政治

    （警告：內含劇透）作為2025年最後一集，今集決定講吓最近大熱嘅《優獸大都會》（Zootopia），但係唔講尼克同茱迪嘅愛情（？），而係講吓電影嘅政治意涵！兩齣電影似乎都係想講Zootopia 優獸市表面上係動物共融嘅烏托邦，但係事實又係點呢？究竟電影想帶出咩訊息？ (Spoiler alert) As the final episode of 2025, this episode talks about something more light-hearted: Zootopia! On its surface, Zootopia 1 and 2 seem to be about Judy and Nick solving crimes in the animal metropolis, but what are the political messages embedded in the movies? Is Zootopia a real Utopia for all animals regardless of species? 參考書目 References： Chew, Kevin. “On war and cuteness: the utopian politics of Disney’s Zootopia.” Screen 60, no. 4 (2019): 567–586.

    EP. 14｜不受控制的世界？｜人嘗試控制世界會適得其反？｜簡介 Hartmut Rosa 及《世界的不受控性》

    大埔火災令人痛心，亦令人意識到，無論人如何努力，世界其實從來都係冇辦法受完全控制，總有一啲無法預料無法想像嘅天災人禍隨時降臨。今集介紹德國哲學家 Hartmut Rosa 嘅著作《世界的不可控性》(The Uncontrollability of the World），現代文明總係想「征服」不可控嘅世界，但係咁樣只會令人與世界產生疏離，亦令世界變得更不受控。所以 Rosa 認為，人應該嘗試同世界重新建立互相共鳴（resonance）嘅關係。 The heartbreaking blaze at Tai Po reminds everyone that despite our best efforts, the world is inherently uncontrollable. German philosopher Hartmut Rosa's The Uncontrollability of the World contends that modernity's urge to control the uncontrollable world creates radical alienation and makes the world even more uncontrollable. Hence, Rosa thinks we should aim to establish a relation of resonance with the world. 參考書目 References： Rosa, Hartmut. The Uncontrollability of the World. Translated by James C. Wagner.

    EP. 13｜民粹主義係乜嘢？民粹主義同民主嘅關係？民粹係反民主定係真正嘅民主？

    成日話民粹主義興起，咁究竟民粹主義係乜嘢？今日會參考三個不同嘅理論角度，嘗試定義民粹主義，睇吓點解好似好多人會擔心民粹主義抬頭，但係又有人會覺得民粹主義先係真正嘅民主。 We often hear people talk about populism and that it is threatening liberal democracy. What is populism actually? Today we are going to discuss three theoretical attempts (Mudde, Weyland, and Ostiguy) to conceptualise populism. 參考書目 References： Rovira Kaltwasser, Cristóbal and others (eds), The Oxford Handbook of Populism.

    EP. 12｜移民的政治哲學（二）｜移民與融入｜移民要點樣融入？國家又可以做啲咩？

    **更正：今集提到嘅荷蘭應係「丹麥」** 其中一個最常見嘅反移民論述就係話移民（或者太多移民）冇辦法融入「主流文化」。究竟政治哲學對移民與融入有咩討論？移民點解要融入，又要融入成點樣？接收移民嘅國家又可以做啲咩去促進移民融入或者保護自身文化？ **Corrections: The episode mentions "the Netherlands". It should be "Denmark" instead.** A common reason to reject immigration is that immigrants (or too many of them) cannot "integrate" into the "mainstream" culture. What is the relevant discussion in political theory like? Why should an immigrant integrate, and what does "integration" look like? What can the host country do or not do to foster integration or to protect its own "national culture"? 參考書目 References： Carens, Joseph. The Ethics of Immigration. Oxford University Press, 2013. Blake, Michael. "Are Citizenship Tests Necessarily Illiberal?" Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 22, no. 2 (2019): 313–29.

    EP. 11｜移民的政治哲學｜移民係人權？點解國家有權限制移民？

    近年移民成為咗政治學同政治哲學嘅重要議題，而呢個議題應該對好多香港人嚟講都係非常切身。今日會探討自八十年代開始嘅政治哲學討論：點解國家有權限制移民？呢個權力／權利係有咩基礎？移民，或者係自由穿梭國界，係咪應該係一項人權？ Immigration is a huge topic in political science and political theory alike, and it bears great significance to Hongkongers worldwide. This episode looks at a classic but significant debate in political theory on the ethics of immigration. ,Why does the state have the power to exclude (would-be) immigrants? Where does this power/right stem from? Or indeed, is there a human right to immigrate or traverse international borders? 參考書目 References： Carens, Joseph. The Ethics of Immigration.

    EP. 10｜羅爾斯與《正義論》｜正義即公平？點樣思考何謂正義？點解思考正義要忘記自己係邊個？

    今集終於講羅爾斯同佢1971年首次出版嘅大作《正義論》，講吓羅爾斯點解會被視為以一人之力重新振興英美政治哲學嘅巨擘，然後講吓《正義論》提出嘅核心內容，例如咩係「正義即公平」，同埋佢提出嘅「無知之幕」係做緊啲乜。點解思考正義要「忘記所有」？ We are finally discussing the great John Rawls and his magnus opus, A Theory of Justice. We will talk about why Rawls was seen to be the influential figure who revived the study of Anglo-American political philosophy, as well as the core ideas in TJ, such as "justice as fairness" and "veil of ignorance". Why does Rawls we have to "forget everything" in order to think about justice? 參考書目 References： Rawls, John. A Theory of Justice. Revised Edition, Belknap Press, 1999.

    EP. 9｜左右不分？｜究竟左派同右派有咩分別？點解左右咁大分歧？

    本身冇諗住講呢個話題，不過最近因為 Charlie Kirk 遇刺事件而再次激發政治上左右派嘅矛盾，所以今集決定簡單講吓政治上左右嘅分別，同埋嘗試分析吓點解左同右嘅分歧嘅核心喺邊度。 The schism between the political Left and Right seems to be ever widening, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This episode tries to explain the main viewpoints of the Left and the Right and analyse where their fundamental differences lie. 參考書目 References： Levin, Yuval.
