  Philosophy Talk

  Philosophy Talk is radio that celebrates the value of the examined life. Our two philosopher-hosts invite listeners to join them in conversations about a wide variety of issues, ranging from popular culture to our most deeply held beliefs about science, morality, and the human condition

  Philosophy Talk is presented by Ken Taylor and John Perry of Stanford University

  Six programmes

  (1) Wisdom

  Philosophy is the love of wisdom - or is it? Is this traditional definition outmoded? Is wisdom an anachronism, an elitist concept deployed by old learned people with nothing of practical value to say? Do the professors of philosophy around the world (or on this programme) love wisdom any more or less than anyone else? John and Ken wise up with Valerie Tiberius from the University of Minnesota, author of 'The Reflective Life: Living Wisely With Our Limits' (Ben Manilla Productions)
