    Professor Christian Fuchs on Karl Marx in the Digital Age

    The Digital Age warrants for a new understanding of labour, digital labor, and a fresh scope to look at the corporations that brought about this digital age. Professor Christian Fuchs is an Australian Sociologist, teaching as a professor at the University of Westminster, and the Director of the Communication and Media Research Institute. He even runs his own journal and podcast: TripleC. He talks about how the bourgeoisie has now transitioned into the digital bourgeoisie but still control the means of production. Listen to what he has to say about how corporations today manipulate the labor and allow for their exploitation.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/ Professor Christian Fuchs: https://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/ Artwork Credits: https://www.instagram.com/whoismedha/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie?s=21 Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie

    Immanuel Kant's Racism and Sexism with Professors Lucy Allais and Helga Varden

    Immanuel Kant has been one of the biggest influences in the field of Philosophy, probably the biggest during the age of enlightenment. His contributions in the realm of ethics, philosophy of knowledge, and political philosophy. However much his theories might seem ethical and pure, history often ignores the ugly truth. Kant, a phenomenal thinker and philosopher, was a racist and a sexist. In this episode, we have Professor Lucy Allais and Professor Helga Varden discussing a comprehensive outlook on Kant. From his views on different genders, his blatant and open sexist remarks, his theory of the races, and the reality of libertarian views, they unveil how Kant might be a brilliant thinker but her wasn't exactly the most politically correct person. It also brings up an interesting topic: can you separate the art from the artist? Do you allow the great thinkers of your time to have an opinion that doesn't quite resonate with whatever may be politically correct in the given time period?  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/ Professor Helga Varden: https://philosophy.illinois.edu/directory/profile/hvarden https://experts.illinois.edu/en/persons/helga-varden Professor Lucy Allais: https://profiles.ucsd.edu/lucy.allais https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=vjlzh1QAAAAJ&hl=en Artwork Credits: https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie?s=21 Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie

    Dr. Christophe Jaffrelot on Crony Capitalism in India

    Dr. Christophe Jaffrelot, a leading political scientist at Sciences Po CERI, talks about Crony Capitalism in the Indian subcontinent. The discussion encompasses crucial discourses on the recent Ayodhya Ram Mandir event, the Vijay Mallya case, the impending NPA Bank Crisis, the presence of a religious oligarchy in India, the disregard of the constitution of the country, and capitalisation of the media, among many other topics. Crony Capitalism acts as a rotten from of Capitalism, where the market forces fail to prevail; instead, the political and bureaucratic reach of individuals prevail. Crony capitalists and politicians form a symbiotic relationship with each other to support one another in their individual greedy endeavours. Politicians need Crony Capitalists to fund their elections and Crony Capitalists need politicians to expand their conglomerates without interruptions.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/  Dr. Christophe Jaffrelot: Twitter(https://twitter.com/jaffrelotc?s=21) and LinkedIn(https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophe-jaffrelot-791a2315/) Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie?s=21  Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie

  4. Plato vs. Pandemic

    ١٦‏/١١‏/١٤٤١ هـ

    Plato vs. Pandemic

    The COVID-19 Pandemic has captured all the attention. Every sphere of society has been affected by it and the effect is mostly negative. However, the Pandemic hasn't been the only problem with this, supposedly worst ever, year. It feels like a war from multiple directions; a war with the potential of making the society more wise, courageous, moderate and just. This episode marks the beginning of a series of concept episodes where I dive into various nuances of philosophy and make it more interesting than just reading a book and analysing the philosophies within it. We explore the definitions of Justice given by Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, Glaucon, Adeimantus and Cephalus. They all intended to provide us with a ubiquitous definition of Justice. However, they ended up providing us with fragmented definitions of Justice: Cephalus gave us the definition of Financial Justice, Polemarchus gave us the definition of Interpersonal Justice, Thrasymachus gave us the definition of Political Justice, and Glaucon and Adeimantus gave us the definition of Social Justice. Let's explore the relevance of these definitions in a time when every political system is slipping into anarchy. Let us allow Plato to fight our war for us.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (https://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)

    Plato and Socrates Part 5: The Republic (V)

    The 5th Volume of the Republic is the densest and the most complex of all volumes. It not only introduces us to some crucial theories like Feminism in Ancient Greece, the infamous Theory of Forms, the claim of Philosopher Kings and gives an explanation of Knowledge using Mathematics. Considering how complex and hard to understand the 5th book is, we will digress from our usual pattern to cover 2 books in one episode. Socrates proposes gender equality, gives us some rules of war, considering he's a veteran of the Peloponnesian War himself, explains how the city's communal behaviour must be and talks, suggests that philosophers must be kings and kings must be philosophers, and an important revelation about knowledge and ignorance.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/prodbypappiii/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (https://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)

    Plato and Socrates Part 4: The Republic (III-IV)

    We will move on to the next two volumes of the Republic (the 3rd and the 4th).  Continuing the talk about Plato's ideal city, Socrates, Glaucon and Adeimantus pick up on the question of how to educate. In this episode, we will talk about Art, Music, Poetry, Greek Mythology and how social hierarchy is installed within the very definition of society. We will also discuss what makes a just society and how we can compare the qualities present in such a society to those qualities present in a just person's soul. I will also point out major foreshadowings and connect these dialogues with society of today. By the end of this episode, we would have understood Plato's definition of Wisdom, Courage, Temperance and ultimately, Justice.   Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/prodbypappiii/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (https://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)

    Plato and Socrates Part 3: The Republic (I-II)

    We're done with Plato's early dialogues and now we will explore the most important and popular philosophical text of all time: The Republic. This episode will also mark the beginning of a series of episodes on The Republic by Plato. Some people even call it the seed out of which Philosophy grew. Some call it the Bible of philosophy. In a way, every philosophical book written after the Republic is either a critique, a comment or a rebuttal to the thoughts present in the Republic. In the span of the next couple of episodes, we will cover topics like wisdom, politics, democracy, justice, dictatorship, epistemology, knowledge, feminism, soul, truth, education and a lot more. In today's episode, we will take a closer look at justice, censorship, knowledge and education. The Republic is the first book that marks an evolution in Plato's political beliefs along with his philosophical pursuits.  DISCLAIMER: This episode contains information about a particular religion but is all based on facts and is not endorsing any sort of discrimination or promoting any manner of hostility against that religion.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/prodbypappiii/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (https://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)

    Plato and Socrates Part 2: Crito and Phaedo

    Today, we'll dive further into Socrates' time in prison and his last hours on this planet. This is the second episode in the series on Plato and Socrates on this Podcast. As much as we all love Plato and admire Socrates, I highlight some unique analogies laid out in the two dialogues and guide you through extensive topics like Immortality, Civil Disobedience, The Laws, and Wisdom. These two dialogues are more than just philosophical pieces, they are living proof of Plato's work as a playwright, not just a philosopher. Come on board and witness the unraveling of the various arguments Socrates conducts against Crito and others to justify his death, his sentence and make us understand the soul and its immortality.  DISCLAIMER: The episode consists of a very mild use of mature language.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/prodbypappiii/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (http://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)
