    Dr. Adam Toon is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Exeter. He works in philosophy of science and philosophy of mind, especially on topics that relate these two fields. He is also interested in the sociology of scientific knowledge. Much of his work focuses on the nature of representation—both how our minds represent the world and how we use other forms of representation, such as scientific models. He is the author of Mind as Metaphor: A Defence of Mental Fictionalism.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Mind as Metaphor. We start by talking about folk psychology, and how people think about the mind. We go through several different approaches to the mind, like the mind as a machine, eliminativism, behaviorism, instrumentalism, and Daniel Dennett’s approach to the mind. We then get into mental fictionalism, and discuss whether the mind exists, how to approach causality and behavior through the lens of fictionalism, self-knowledge, and the concept of mental representation. We talk about the extended mind thesis, and 4E cognition. Finally, we discuss the implications that fictionalism would have for epistemology, and how we think about the nature of human knowledge and inquiry.

    Dr. Edward Watts is presently the Vassiliadis Professor of Byzantine Greek History at the University of California, San Diego, where he was formerly Co-Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies. His research interests center on the intellectual and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of several books on ancient history, including Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell Into Tyranny, The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea, and Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Hypatia. We first get into the social, political, and historical context where Hypatia lived, and the intellectual life in Alexandria. We then talk about her early years, how she became a philosopher and the head of a philosophy school, her main intellectual contributions, her political life and public service, and her tragic death and its aftermath. We also discuss her intellectual legacy, how she has been portrayed by artists, and what she symbolizes for modern people.

    Dr. Elizabeth Pillsworth is Professor of Anthropology at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at California State University, Fullerton. Her research questions include patterns of mate preferences, mate choice, sexuality, gender, romantic love, and reproduction. Her research projects include studies with U.S. populations and 15 years of fieldwork with an indigenous hunter-horticultural population in Amazonian Ecuador.

     

    In this episode, we explore the evolutionary anthropology of partner choice, parenthood, mating systems, and gender. We start by talking about the Shuar people in South America, and we explore topics like their gender norms and how they have changed over the past few decades; partner choice and marital practices; parent-offspring conflict in partner choice; and the influence of female choice and parental choice in the evolution of mate preferences. We then talk about the evolution of paternal investment and the role of fathers. We discuss coupling and human mating systems. Finally, we talk about the difference between sex and gender, and how gender roles change across time.

    Dr. Jonathan Matheson is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Florida specializing in epistemology. His primary research interests concern the epistemic significance of disagreement.  He also has research interests in ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion. His latest book is Why It's OK Not to Think for Yourself.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Why It’s OK Not to Think for Yourself. We start by discussing where the idea that people should think for themselves comes from, and social epistemology and the wisdom of crowds. We talk about who we should rely on, how to identify the experts, why we cannot properly evaluate all kinds of information by ourselves, and how we need to rely on other people and on accumulated knowledge. We go through the main objections to Dr. Matheson’s thesis, namely the autonomy objection, the free-rider objection, the Socratic objection, the objection of epistemic vulnerability, the understanding objection, and the intellectual virtue objection. Finally, we discuss epistemic responsibility, and cases where it is not OK to not think for yourself.

    Dr. Cat Bohannon is a researcher and author with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition. Her essays and poems have appeared in Scientific American, Mind, Science Magazine, The Best American Nonrequired Reading, The Georgia Review, The Story Collider, and Poets Against the War. She is the author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.

     

    In this episode, we focus on Eve. We start by talking about females from 200 million years ago, going back to the early mammals, and we also talk about the difference between sex and gender, and the “male norm”, or how the female body has been neglected in biology and medicine. We then go through the evolution of some of the traits Dr. Bohannon explores in her book, namely milk, and whether men and trans women can produce it; breasts and sexual selection; the origins of the placenta; the female orgasm; menstruation; female vision and smell; bipedalism and birth; and menopause. Finally, we discuss the origins of sexism and patriarchy.

    Dr. Gwendolyn Dolske is Professor of Philosophy at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and host of the Good Is In The Details Podcast.


    In this episode, we start by talking about why philosophy is important for people’s lives, and the Good Is In The Details podcast. We then explore the philosophy of existentialism and the work of Simone de Beauvoir. We discuss her importance in the history of feminism, the link between existentialism and feminism, what it means to become a woman, what authenticity is, and what it means to live a “good life”. We also talk about the role of sex and love for humans. We discuss modern dating, the manosphere, and the backlash against feminism. Finally, we talk about sex work from a feminist perspective.

Podcasts com sotaque

Subscrevi os podcasts mas depois percebi que estavam em inglês e cancelei a subscrição sem os ouvir. Como ouvi falar muito bem voltei a insistir e fiquei surpreendida com a facilidade com que percebo o inglês com sotaque de Viseu. Bem haja Ricardo por estes podcasts tão interessantes
