African sounds

Courage - Mamadou Diabaté

Malian kora player Mamadou Diabaté is a member of the Mandinka West African jeli or musician caste. His latest album, Courage, is a departure from the traditional melodies on his previous album, focussing instead on Diabaté's own compositions (World Village 681082)

Barefoot in the Sand - Atongo Zimba

Atongo Zimba and his signature two-stringed calabash lute, the koliko, are joined by a variety of strings and percussion in this album. "This is very acoustic music, it's with the acoustic sound of the Sahel", explains Atongo. "But the idea of also putting the Indian tabla, and other colours give it an Arabic, even Northern African feel" (Hippo Records HiP008)

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)
