Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891–1956) is perhaps the most iconised historical figure in India. Born into a caste deemed ‘unfit for human association', he came to define what it means to be human. How and why did Ambedkar, who revered and cited the Gita till the 1930s, turn against Hinduism? What were his quarrels with Gandhi and Savarkar? Why did he come to see himself as Moses? How did the lessons learnt at Columbia University impact the struggle for water in Mahad in 1927 and the drafting of the Constitution of India in 1950? Having declared in 1935 that he will not die as a Hindu, why did Ambedkar toil on the Hindu Code Bill? What made him a votary of Western individualism and yet put faith in the collective ethical way of life suggested by Buddhism? Why is it wrong to see Ambedkar as an apologist for colonialism? From which streams of thought did Ambedkar brew his philosophies? Who were the thinkers he turned to in his library of fifty thousand books? What did this life of the mind cost him and his intimates? What of his first wife, Ramabai, while he was busy with the chalval? A Part Apart: The Life and Thought of B.R. Ambedkar (Navayana Press, 2023) is a rigorous effort at both asking questions and answering as many as one can about B.R. Ambedkar. Ashok Gopal undertakes a mission without parallel: reading the bulk of Ambedkar's writings, speeches and letters in Marathi and English, and what Ambedkar himself would have read. This is the story of the unrelenting toil and struggle that went into the making of Ambedkar legend. A graduate in history, Ashok Gopal has worked as a journalist, consultant for NGOs, curriculum designer and educational content developer. He has been studying the life and thought of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar since 2004. He lives in Pune. The book features 70 photographs, most of them from the archivist Vijay Surwade's collection.

On this episode, Misha talks with Ruslan Pukhov, a Russian defense analyst and the director of the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST). Mr. Pukhov shares about the origins of CAST during the late 90s, the state of Russia's defense economy, and his views on the current war in Ukraine. He states that neither the Ukrainian public nor Ukrainian leadership and elites understand what "victory" means in terms of a realistic approach and that continued American support, strongly dependent upon the upcoming US presidential elections in his view, is critical to Ukraine's prospects in this war.

Associate Professor Daniel A. Arnold from Divinity School describes his travels to Nepal and India in college, and how the years working in a bookstore and studying non-instrumentally in a seminary led him to find his real love for philosophy. His profession as a professor sometimes juxtaposes with the ideal intellectual life, but interactions with students always help put things back into perspective. Listen to Professor Arnold talk about his career journey to becoming a professor at the University of Chicago.

James himself remained unconvinced that psychology was in fact a distinct discipline, writing in his 1892 survey of the field, Psychology: Briefer Course,  "This is no science; it is only the hope of a science" (p. 335). Despite James's skepticism, in the ensuing century this hope was fully realized in the department he helped to found. Initially trained in painting, James abandoned the arts and enrolled in Harvard in 1861 to study chemistry and anatomy. During an extended stay in Germany after graduating, James developed an interest in studying the mind, as well as the body. In 1872 James was recruited by Harvard's new, reformer president, Charles Eliot, to teach vertebrate physiology.  In 1875 James taught one of the university's first courses in psychology, “The Relations between Physiology and Psychology,” for which he established the first experimental psychology demonstration laboratory.  James oversaw Harvard's first doctorate in psychology, earned by G. Stanley Hall in 1878.  Hall noted that James's course was, “up to the present time the only course in the country where students can be made familiar with the methods and results of recent German researches in physiological psychology” (Hall, 1879).James's laboratory research on sensation and perception was conducted in the first half of his career. His belief in the connection between mind and body led him to develop what has become known as the James-Lange Theory of emotion, which posits that human experience of emotion arises from physiological changes in response to external events.  Inspired by evolutionary theory, James's theoretical perspective on psychology came to be known as functionalism, which sought causal relationships between internal states and external behaviors.In 1890 James published a highly influential, two-volume synthesis and summary of psychology, Principles of Psychology. The books were widely read in North America and Europe, gaining attention and praise from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung in Vienna.  James then moved away from experimental psychology to produce more philosophical works (he is credited as one of the founders of the school of American Pragmatism), although he continued to teach psychology until he retired from Harvard in 1907. From https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/william-james. For more information about William James:“William James”: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/james/“William James on the Psychology of the Second Wind”: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/06/15/william-james-the-energies-of-men-second-wind/“The Thinker Who Believed in Doing”: https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2018/winter/feature/the-thinker-who-believed-in-doing-0

The mystery segment of Season 3 continues as the boys discuss Walter Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress.

Nietzsche's attitude toward science is ambivalent: he remarks approvingly on its rigorous methodology and adventurous spirit, but also points out its limitations and rebukes scientists for encroaching onto philosophers' territory. What does Nietzsche think is science's proper role and relationship with philosophy? I argue that, according to Nietzsche, philosophy should set goals for science. Philosophers' distinctive task is to ‘create values', which involves two steps: (1) envisioning ideals for human life, and (2) turning those ideals into prescriptions for behaviour and societal organisation. To accomplish step (2), philosophers should delegate scientists to investigate what moral rules and social arrangements have best advanced this ideal in the past or might in the future. Rachel Cristy is a Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College London. She received her PhD in Philosophy from Princeton University and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics before coming to King's. She works on the history of late modern philosophy, primarily on Nietzsche, sometimes putting him in conversation with William James, one of the founders of American Pragmatism. She is especially interested in late modern philosophers' attitudes toward science, including both epistemological views (on its methods, its limitations, what sort of philosophical foundation it has or needs) and ethical views (on the proper place of science in the life of individuals and societies). She has also published on Kant's aesthetics as it relates to wine. This podcast is an audio recording of Dr Cristy's talk - "Commanders and Scientific Labourers: Nietzsche on the Relationship Between Philosophy and Science" - at the Aristotelian Society on 31 January 2022.

Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike's Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 Symbolic and Metaphysical Descriptors of Value00:03:01 The Logos: Gathering Things Together Under a Common Name00:03:48 The Fractal Structure of (Static and Dynamic) Value00:07:10 Defining “Fractal”00:08:50 Inorganic and Intellectual Mass: “Matter” and “What Matters”00:11:00 Etymology as Walking Backwards Through the Fractal Tree of Language00:12:30 Unpacking the Meta-Narrative of Lila00:16:45 Static Quality as a Ledger Written by Dynamic Quality00:21:24 Returning to the Lila Meta-Narrative…00:29:41 The Duality of Lila00:32:24 NYDIG00:33:31 Polysemic Storytelling00:37:39 The Middle Way of Truth00:39:48 The Philosophy of American Pragmatism on Truth00:42:06 The Middle Way of Transjectivity00:43:15 Pirsig's Indexing System for Constructing his Metaphysics00:47:41 Random Access Memory (RAM), Freedom, and Dynamic Quality00:51:53 The Intensity of Exchange and the Etymology of God00:54:54 Morality is Born from Play and Play is Born from Freedom00:58:00 Humans Create Stories that Support, but Later Cripple, Further ExplorationSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?

Tim Keefe joins us again for part 3 of our ongoing series in American Pragmatism, where we talk about the life and pragmatism of William James.William James is known as the “Father of American psychology," as well as one of the most influential philosophers to ever come out of the United States. After citing Charles Peirce’s pragmatic maxim in a lecture on religion, James became the leader of a movement in philosophy known as Pragmatism."Pragmatism asks its usual question. "Grant an idea or belief to be true," it says, "what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth's cash-val;ue in experiential terms”-William James, Pragmatism: A New Name For Some Old Ways Of Thinking—— MORE FROM TIM——“What Is Philosophy”(Mindgasms - Youtube)“Postmodernity”(James And The Giant Podcast)—— JOIN THE CONVERSATION——Give us your feedback in the comment section at the bottom of the episode page: History of Pragmatism with Tim Keefe Part 3 - William James——HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW——Donate to our patreonaccount.Rate and Review us on iTunesShare the podcast with your friends—— REACH OUT——Host: @HaydenTheBruce@PragmaticChristPragmaticChristian.com

American Pragmatism was born out of the conversations of a small group of men who called themselves “the Metaphysical Club”. It was a group made of lawyers, scientists, and philosophers, who shared an interest in Darwin, as well as a common conviction that beliefs have consequences.It was in this club where William James first heard Charles Peirce read his “pragmatic maxim”: “Consider what effects, which might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object”.In this episode, Tim Keefe joins the show to talk about the most influential ideas of the Metaphysical Club, as well as Charles Peirce’s “pragmatic maxim”.—— MORE FROM TIM—— “What Is Philosophy” (Mindgasms - Youtube)“Postmodernity” (James And The Giant Podcast)—— JOIN THE CONVERSATION—— Give us your feedback in the comment section at the bottom of the episode page: A History of Pragmatism with Tim Keefe Part 2 - The Metaphysical Club——HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW——Donate to our patreon account.

With Republicans in control of Washington, many suspect that conservatism is on the ascent. Others are wondering what conservatism even means in 2016. In which version of conservatism does President-Elect Donald J. Trump believe? How would Trump answer the question that David Brooks posed to Barack Obama about Edmund Burke before he became president? Robert Lacey's new book, Pragmatic Conservatism: Edmund Burke and His American Heirs (Palgrave MacMillan, 2016), offers the start of an answer. Lacey is associate professor of political science at Iona College. He has previous written American Pragmatism and Democratic Faith. His new book argues for Burke as a pragmatist and more closely aligned with the current philosophy of many liberals than movement conservatives. In order to make this case, Lacey compares Burke to Walter Lippmann, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Peter Viereck, the American heirs. As Donald Trump ascends to the presidency, Lacey's book should be read to understand whether business pragmatism of the new president resembles the conservative pragmatism of Burke or something altogether different.

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/american-pragmatism. Pragmatism is perhaps America's most distinctive contribution to philosophy. Developed by Pierce, Dewey, and James in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pragmatism holds that both the meaning and the truth of any idea is a function of its practical outcome. The pragmatists rejected all forms of absolutism and insisted that all principles be regarded as working hypotheses that must bear fruit in lived experience. Join John and Ken as they dig into this intellectually vibrant, still influential, and distinctly American philosophical tradition with John McDermott from Texas A&M University, author of "The Culture of Experience: Philosophical Essays in the American Grain."

  Dr Catherine Legg speaks about American Pragmatism and the other different fields of Philosophy. Also women participation within these fields.
