    上集提到德國大哲哈伯馬斯嘅溝通理性和商議式民主等概念，今集講吓近年Google DeepMind進行嘅「哈伯馬斯機器」（Habermas Machine）研究，測試生成式 AI 可唔可以令選民更能進行理性討論，凝聚共識，從而反思 AI 與民主嘅關係。 Continuing last episode's introduction the late Jürgen Habermas and his theory of deliberative democracy, this episode discusses Google DeepMind's intriguing experiment on the "Habermas Machine", a generative AI that aims to facilitate rational deliberation and consensus building.

    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.
