    The Prehistoric Plague

    The first ever outbreak of 'plague' - Yersinia Pestis, the most feared disease in human history - was long thought to be the Plague of Justinian in 541 AD. But new studies of ancient DNA have revealed traces of Yesinia Pestis dating back more than 5,000 years.  In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Laura Spinney to explore the origins of prehistoric plague. How did this pestilence emerge to blight the Neolithic world? Where did it come from? And could it have triggered a Stone Age collapse which signalled the dawn of the Bronze Age in Europe? Discover how this deadly pathogen reshaped entire Stone Age societies, long before the advent of written history.  MORE Did Plague Destroy the Roman Empire?

    C6 - Iluminismul

    În acest episod din Istoria Complementară a României, vorbesc despre curentul Iluminist. Începând de la primele zbateri ale metodei științifice, prin filosofie, matematică, istorie, antropologie, economie, politică și alte noi discipline, Iluminismul stă la baza societății moderne. Și dacă nu mă credeți, ascultați episodul și apoi uitați-vă în jur. În orice aspect al vieții voastre de zi cu zi, veți găsi cel puțin un element al Iluminismului. Fie că deschideți televizorul și se discută despre politică, sau vă uitați pur și simplu în portofel, fie că ați "chiulit" de la ultima duminică la biserică sau ați văzut o dramă cu avocați din Statele Unite pe Netflix... undeva, pe undeva, vă afectează iluminiștii. La 6 luni după încheierea podcastului "Istoria României", am decis să public episoadele seriei complementare, disponibile inițial doar pe Patreon. Acesta este al treilea episod al seriei, înregistrat inițial în aprilie 2022. Capitolele acestui episod, pentru platformele care nu suportă funcționalitatea în mod direct: 1. Introducere: 0:00 -- ce e un curent filosofic și de ce oamenii tind să gândească la fel 2. Recapitulare grosieră a evenimentelor de până acum: 3:37 -- precursorii Iluminismului, cum a schimbat Renașterea arta, primele idei centrate pe individ 3. Trei personaje ale secolului al XVI-lea: 9:47 -- Giordano Bruno (o legendă demontată a științei), Galileo Galilei și Francis Bacon (începuturile metodei științifice, cum distingem adevărul de coincidență?) 4. Ce e un “Iluminism”? 17:59 -- câteva definiții 5. René Descartes 21:14 -- tatăl filosofiei moderne, de la o viață destrăbălată la mare reformator al filosofiei, "Discursul" 6. Cartezieni și anti-cartezieni 29:19 -- Hobbes, Locke, Pascal, Malebranche și opinii pro/contra filosofiei lui Descartes. Ideile despre intelect, materie, empirism, libertate și societate, rațiune. Pariul lui Pascal. 7. Baruch Spinoza 37:20 -- Biblia și știința separate, visul introvertiților și schimbarea de mentalitate față de "cei diferiți". Leibniz și Berkeley (băgați la pachet pe capitolul lui Spinoza). 8. Noua istorie și noua economie 45:02 -- David Hume și prima lucrare de istorie devenită best-seller și carte de căpătâi. Sentimentul anti-religios: Gibbon și "Istoria Declinului și a prăbușirii Imperiului Roman". Istoria alternativă: istoria științelor, a literaturii. Nu mai există "bine" și nici "rău". Economia lui Adam Smith: "Avuția națiunilor" și fundamentele pieței libere. Excesul și munca, utilitatea, competiția, monopolul. 9. “Generația de Aur” a Iluminismului francez 53:47 -- Pierre Bayle. Montesquieu: spiritul legilor, fundamentele separării puterilor în stat, aportul personal în istorie, suprimarea "stărilor" medievale, fondarea antropologiei, studiul climei ca factor în dezvoltarea societății. Sclavia. Voltaire: deghizarea filosofiei sub formă literară. "Inventarea" lui Dumnezeu. 10. Rebelul 1:03:00 -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau: viața contrară normelor, certurile cu Voltaire, certurile cu toată lumea, "Rousseau cel iresponsabil" 11. Iluminismul german 1:06:21 -- Wolff. Kant: rigurozitatea, împotriva existenței lui Dumnezeu, sistemul "rațiunii pure", pacea perpetuă, binele din convingere, teoriile rasiste și "ascunderea" lor 12. Iluminismul politic 1:12:44 - starea naturală a omului: bună sau rea? instituțiile: bune sau rele? modelul contractului social, nesupunerea civică, datoriile și obligațiile unui cetățean, democrația reprezentativă, garanțiile sociale, fără drept divin pentru suverani, proprietatea privată, separarea bisericii de stat, acordul tacit pentru a trăi în societate, sistemul "zeilor" lui Rousseau, "despotul luminat" 13. Pe cine am uitat? 1:27:31 -- mențiuni, concluzii, aplicabilitate Support the show

    Az olaszországi hadjárat története

    Kevésbé közszájon forgó része a második világháborúnak az olaszországi hadjárat, pedig egy nagyon nehéz és sok veszteséggel járó, ráadásul hosszú folyamat volt, mire a szövetségesek végigmentek Sziciliától a Pó-síkságig. Milyen hibákat követtek el, és tényleg szükséges volt-e a hadművelet? Hogyan reagált az olasz társadalom? Erre és még számos kérdésre válaszol ebben a részben az ELTE habilitált docense, Juhász Balázs történész! Együttműködés: www.betonenetwork.hu Learn more about your ad choices.

    Beware Tech Tycoons with Piranha Tanks - with Katie Prescott

    Mike Lynch was often lauded as Britain's answer to Bill Gates. Born into a working-class family, Lynch's incredible intellect and passion for computers led him to become a billionaire tech entrepreneur. But behind the scenes, Lynch was a bully who couldn't bear criticism and was prone to creative accounting. When computer giant Hewlett Packard bought his company, Autonomy, it triggered one of the biggest fraud scandals in Silicon Valley history. Tim talks to Katie Prescott, Technology Business Editor at The Times and author of the book The Curious Case of Mike Lynch, about the lessons we can take from a story no one could have predicted.
