Why do ancient philosophers still matter today?

Episode 259: Plato, Aristotle and other thinkers who lived centuries ago still shape how we understand happiness, character and the good life. Host Richard Kyte explains which philosophers influenced him most — and why their ideas continue to matter. Kyte begins with Plato, the thinker he says has influenced him more than anyone else. He explains how Plato elevated the life of the mind and argued that truth, goodness and beauty are not simply matters of personal opinion. That idea, Kyte says, still shapes the way he thinks about ethics today. From there, the conversation moves to Aristotle, who took a more practical approach by asking what human beings ultimately want. His answer was happiness, but not in the sense of momentary pleasure. Instead, Aristotle argued that a flourishing life depends on developing virtues such as courage, temperance and justice. Kyte connects those ideas to modern discussions of character and even contemporary positive psychology. The discussion then jumps ahead to Augustine, who blended classical philosophy with Christian thought, especially ideas about love, sin and the moral structure of reality. Ralph Waldo Emerson follows, not as a conventional academic philosopher, but as a writer whose work helped Kyte understand how reading, memory and reflection can shape a person’s inner life. For his fifth choice, Kyte bends the rules and names a group rather than a single person: several 20th-century female philosophers, including Hannah Arendt, Iris Murdoch and Martha Nussbaum. He explains how their work pushed back against overly abstract systems of thought and returned attention to questions of human nature, goodness, justice, love and forgiveness. Throughout the episode, host Scott Rada asks a simpler question on behalf of listeners who may know these names but not their ideas: Why should any of this still matter? That question becomes especially important in the final discussion, when the hosts consider the declining role of philosophy and the liberal arts in higher education. Kyte argues that career-focused courses may teach useful skills, but philosophy asks a more fundamental question: What kind of life are those skills supposed to help us build?

Silvia Vizzardelli"Che cos'è l'atto di creazioneGilles DeleuzeA cura di Antonella MoscatiCronopio Edizioniwww.cronopio.it"Che cos'è l'atto di creazione?" raccoglie una conferenza di Gilles Deleuze rimasta a lungo inedita e poco conosciuta anche in Francia, tenuta nel 1987 alla FEMIS, la Scuola Superiore di Cinema di Parigi, insieme a due interviste del 1983 e del 1986. Il volume è pubblicato da Cronopio, storica casa editrice napoletana, nella collana "Tessere", a cura di Antonella Moscati.Nella conferenza Deleuze riflette sulle condizioni dell'atto creativo inteso come atto di pensiero: un pensiero che, nel linguaggio del cinema, si esprime attraverso quei blocchi singolari di spazio-tempo che sono le immagini cinematografiche. Non si tratta, per Deleuze, di applicare la filosofia al cinema o viceversa, ma di mostrare come i due domini comunichino spontaneamente, l'uno rilanciando l'altro. Nelle due interviste che completano il volume, Deleuze mostra invece come le immagini cinematografiche, passando attraverso il cervello e il corpo dello spettatore, possano acquistare la forza di un autentico atto politico di resistenza.È lo stesso Deleuze a indicare il cuore della questione: "Qualcosa di strano mi ha colpito nel cinema: la sua attitudine inaspettata a manifestare, non il comportamento, ma la vita spirituale [...]. La vita spirituale non è il sogno né il fantasma, che sono sempre stati un vicolo cieco per il cinema, ma il dominio della decisione fredda, della caparbietà assoluta, della scelta dell'esistenza [...]. Si passa spontaneamente dalla filosofia al cinema, ma anche dal cinema alla filosofia."Un testo breve ma denso, che si può leggere come una porta d'accesso agile ai grandi temi dell'opera deleuziana — l'immagine, il tempo, la creazione come resistenza — nella forma diretta e parlata della conferenza pubblica.Gilles Deleuze (Parigi, 1925 – Parigi, 1995) è stato uno dei filosofi più influenti del secondo Novecento. Ha insegnato per quasi vent'anni all'Università di Paris VIII, prima a Vincennes e poi a Saint-Denis. Tra le sue opere principali: "Nietzsche e la filosofia" (1962), "Differenza e ripetizione" (1968), "Logica del senso" (1969), e, in collaborazione con Félix Guattari, "L'Anti-Edipo" (1972) e "Mille piani" (1980), capitoli del progetto "Capitalismo e schizofrenia". Ha dedicato al cinema i due volumi "L'immagine-movimento" (1983) e "L'immagine-tempo" (1985), e ha firmato con Guattari, nel 1991, "Che cos'è la filosofia?". Il suo pensiero, costruito attorno ai concetti di differenza, divenire e molteplicità, ha attraversato la storia della filosofia, la letteratura, il cinema e le arti, lasciando un'eredità che continua a nutrire il dibattito filosofico contemporaneo.Antonella Moscati è scrittrice e filosofa, nata a Napoli. Studiosa di Hannah Arendt, ha tradotto e curato in italiano opere di Deleuze, Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin e altri protagonisti del pensiero francese e tedesco contemporaneo. È da anni tra le voci più attive della casa editrice Cronopio, per cui ha curato numerosi volumi. Ha esordito come narratrice in Francia con "Verbali" (Léo Scheer, 2000); tra le sue opere pubblicate in Italia: "Una quasi eternità" (Nottetempo, 2006 e 2022), "Deliri" (Nottetempo, 2009), "Una casa" (Nottetempo, 2015), "Ellen West. Una vita indegna di essere vissuta" (Quodlibet, 2021) e "Patologie" (Quodlibet, 2024).Silvia Vizzardelli insegna Estetica all'Università di Verona. La sua ricerca si muove tra estetica e teoria delle arti, con un'attenzione particolare, negli ultimi anni, all'incontro tra estetica e psicoanalisi. È docente della Scuola di specializzazione in Psicoterapia psicoanalitica (Psicomed) e collabora regolarmente con la rivista "doppiozero", per cui scrive su Deleuze, Derrida, Blanchot, Agamben e altri autori del pensiero contemporaneo. Tra le sue pubblicazioni: "Filosofia della musica" (Laterza, 2007), "La tentazione dello spazio. Estetica e psicoanalisi dell'inorganico", con Valentina De Filippis (Salerno, 2016) e "Teleplastia.

After a great human-wrought tragedy, how are victims and their kin made right? What does it mean to take revenge, to exact vengeance, to seek redress, to go vigilante in seeking justice? What counts as the proper or sufficient retaliation or retribution--and what can or should be left to the impartial third-person mechanisms of a justice system? To ask about those troubling topics from a new angle, Brandeis University's Laura Jockusch (author, previously, of Collect and Record and Jewish Honor Courts) has written about Jewish revenge on genocide perpetrators in her searching, and shocking Jewish Revenge and the Holocaust. Drawing on her great erudition and painstaking archival research, she explores how views changed during and after the war--and in following decades when justice and vengeance came to seem potentially compatible, especially if revenge could be rendered an aesthetic or imaginative phenomenon.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. Thirty years after the event, Matthew Longo returns to the border to reflect on the legacy of the picnic and the nature of freedom. The site of the former "death zone" has ironically become the most green part of Europe—a "green belt" of pastoral woodlands. Longo interviews the aging survivors, including Nemeth, Agnes, and Laslo, a curator of documents who describes the unremarkable-looking spot as Anus Mundi. The final discussion explores the evolving meaning of liberty, contrasting Isaiah Berlin's "negative liberty" (freedom from state interference and freedom of movement) with Hannah Arendt's concept of "plurality" and solidarity. Longo notes a "perverse irony": many East Germans who successfully fled to the West were ultimately disappointed by the version of freedom they found, which lacked the sense of community and solidarity they had experienced in the East. In a modern world where walls are being rebuilt and xenophobia is rising, the story of the Pan-European Picnic serves as a prompt to rethink how the euphoria of 1989 transitioned into the embattled state of liberalism today.

Hannah Arendt gilt als eine der einflussreichsten politischen Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts – unkonventionell, ideologiekritisch, streitbar. Ihr Denken, entstanden aus den Erschütterungen von Flucht, Exil und Staatenlosigkeit, bleibt 50 Jahre nach ihrem Tod von erstaunlicher Gegenwartskraft. «Denken ohne Geländer» – diesem Anspruch widmete Arendt ihr ganzes Leben. Sie durchlebte die Katastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts, floh vor den Nationalsozialisten, stellte sich in den USA neu auf und widmete ihr Leben der Suche nach Wahrheit und Freiheit. Sie beharrte auf intellektuelle Beweglichkeit statt Zugehörigkeit und war konsequent ideologiekritisch. Freundschaft wurde für sie zur politischen Tugend, Pluralität zum Grundprinzip menschlichen Zusammenlebens. Wie wirken die biografischen Brüche und Neuanfänge in ihr Werk hinein? Warum spielt Zwischenmenschlichkeit und Freundschaft eine so zentrale Rolle in ihrer politischen Theorie? Und weshalb gewinnen Arendts Ideen gerade heute so an Brisanz?

El Dr. José Miguel Gaona es psiquiatra forense. Ha peritado algunos de los crímenes más difíciles de explicar de este país y, a la vez, es uno de los pocos médicos que ha estado dentro de exorcismos reales, tras formarse en el curso para exorcistas del Vaticano en Roma. Su último libro, "Posesión: Un viaje profundo entre la ciencia y el misterio de los exorcismos"(https://amzn.to/3ThBoqG), no va, en realidad, de demonios: va de la mente humana, del mal y de esa frontera incómoda en la que la ciencia se queda sin palabras. En esta conversación hablamos del cerebro que fabrica sus propios fantasmas: epilepsia, disociación, criptomnesia, parálisis del sueño, del "casco de Dios" que él mismo se puso en el laboratorio de Persinger, de la banalidad del mal de Hannah Arendt y del caso de Pioz, del libre albedrío de Libet, y de los casos que, siendo un escéptico riguroso, reconoce no poder explicar. Y de una pregunta que lo atraviesa todo: ¿el mal está fuera de nosotros, o dentro? Una charla larga, sin prisa, entre la neurociencia y el misterio, con un hombre que ha aprendido a mirar el mal de frente sin apartar la vista.

On this episode we welcome back Ginie Servant-Miklos, founder and director of the Bildung Climate School in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to check in on how this initiative has evolved and also about her recent book, Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World as We Know it. The Bildung Climate School is in its third year and set to receive formal accreditation within Erasmus University Rotterdam, one of the great research universities of Europe. Deeply informed by the vision of "Bildung," the model of human development expressed in the Danish folk high schools, BCS seeks to empowers young people drawn from all sectors of post-secondary education in the Netherlands to "face sustainability challenges with resilience, creativity, and care" in the context of "an interdisciplinary learning community, combining science, hands-on skills, and personal development to prepare the next generation for a just and sustainable world." Ginie is an experienced experimental educator and a scholar with a broad range of expertise, as well as a passionate practitioner and promoter of martial arts. She pulls no punches in her book and in our conversation about the dire situation we are in as a species and about how challenging it is to be a young person coming of age today. But her message, and the mission of the Bildung Climate School, is ultimately about hope and an embrace of the most profound facets of what it means to be human. Her work and writing is deeply marked by her own life experiences and the ideas of her intellectual heroes, including Simone de Beauvoir, Paulo Freire, Viktor Frankl, and Hannah Arendt, whose work we discuss in this conversation.Ginie Servant-Miklos is an engaged environmental educator with fifteen years of experience in education practice, research, and advocacy. She currently holds an Associate Professorship with an Education Profile at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her research and education work focuses on developing innovative pedagogies for societal impact. She developed the Experimental Pedagogics educational design framework, is the Director of the Bildung Climate School and the author of "Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World as We Know It". She is a Leadership Fellow of the Comenius Network for educational innovators in the Netherlands. She is the founder and chair of the board of the FairFight Foundation, an organisation that provides girls and women from Zambia, Zimbabwe, and India with the mental and physical benefits of martial arts practice, as well as educational support. Ginie is a vocal activist for sustainability and gender equality, advocating for change through public engagements like TEDx talks, debates, podcasts, and other digital media outlets. Ginie obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Kent, an LLM in International Law from Kent Law School, an MA in International Relations from Sciences Po Lille, a PhD in Education Philosophy and Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a post-doctoral research grant in Sustainability Education from Aalborg University in Denmark.

Peaceful Political Revolution in America

Welcome to another episode of the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.I want to begin today with a passage that has been sitting with me for some time. It comes from the Swiss scholar Pascal Lottaz, host of the Neutrality Studies podcast, in his March 2026 introduction to an interview with the political scientist Dr. Aaron Good. Lottaz opened that conversation this way. "Crime in the United States is not a bug; it's a feature. That actually explains a lot also about its illegal foreign policies. The US as a political entity is deeply intertwined with crime syndicates and explicitly illegal acts under international and local law. Epstein was not at all an exception. These shady dealers are part and parcel of how US politics works."Good's argument, in brief, is this. After the Second World War, the United States built what he calls a "tripartite state" — the public democratic state we learn about in civics class, the national-security state of the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, and, behind both of them, a deep state that he defines as an obscured, dominant, supranational source of antidemocratic power. That deep state, he argues, did not emerge from any constitutional design. It emerged from the pursuit of empire — from a postwar project that required, in his words, an endless exception to the rule of law in order to function.That's quite a diagnosis. And it is a powerful one. But it leaves an obvious question hanging. If the rot is structural, what do we do about it? That question is what brings me to today's guest.Dr. Camila Vergara is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Research and Innovation at the Essex Business School at the University of Essex. She is the editor of Theoria: A Journal of Social and Political Theory, and the author of Systemic Corruption: Constitutional Ideas for an Anti-Oligarchic Republic, published by Princeton University Press.Where Aaron Good gives us a forensic account of how the American state has been hollowed out by elite criminality, Camila Vergara takes a longer view. Drawing on Machiavelli, Condorcet, Rosa Luxemburg, and Hannah Arendt, she argues that the corruption we are describing is not a recent betrayal of an otherwise sound design — it is the predictable trajectory of representative government itself. Republics, she contends, decay into oligarchies. They always have. And the question is not whether the United States is corrupt, but whether the constitutional architecture we inherited contains the tools to push back against that decay — or whether we need to build new ones.Her answer, of course, is the latter. She proposes what she calls plebeian institutions — a network of local assemblies, independent of parties and government, designed to give ordinary people a permanent, structural check on the power of the few.Today, we are going to walk through that argument. We will talk about how she defines systemic corruption, why she thinks reform from within is unlikely to be enough, what plebeian power could actually look like in twenty-first century America, and whether the U.S. Constitution — as it stands — is part of the cure or part of the disease.Dr. Camila Vergara, it is a pleasure to have you on the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.

No novo episódio do Linhas Cruzadas, Thaís Oyama e Luiz Felipe Pondé investigam a força mais sombria da experiência humana: o mal. O programa percorre os caminhos que moldam a nossa moral hoje, indo do clássico mito de Fausto — que troca a alma por poder — à assustadora "banalidade do mal" de Hannah Arendt, onde a crueldade se esconde atrás de uma mesa de escritório e de uma rotina burocrática.Para levar o debate ao limite, o episódio traz a participação exclusiva de um padre exorcista. Ele revela como a Igreja Católica hoje dialoga com a psicologia e a psiquiatria para traçar a linha invisível entre a mente humana e o que ainda desafia a ciência como manifestação espiritual.Do demônio aos diagnósticos psiquiátricos, do pecado à lógica das redes, o mal mudou de linguagem, mas continua à espreita. O grande desafio do nosso tempo não é descobrir de onde ele vem, mas reconhecer para onde ele está nos levando.#LinhasCruzadas #TVCultura #SomosCultura # ▶️ BAIXE O APLICATIVO CULTURA PLAY ▶️- Play Store: http://bit.ly/3KUUHhI- Apple Store: http://apple.co/3LgEK72Inscreva-se no canal e clique no sininho para ser notificado das novidades!Siga as redes do Jornalismo TV Cultura!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jornalismotvculturaTwitter: https://twitter.com/jornal_culturaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jornalismotvcultura/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jornalismotvcultura?lang=pt-BRSite: https://tvcultura.com.br/

The often extremely quotable Hannah Arendt once wrote that “the French Revolution, which ended in disaster, has made world history, while the American Revolution, so triumphantly successful, has remained an event of little more than local importance.”My guest Richard Bell emphatically disagrees. In The American Revolution and the Fate of the World (Penguin, 2025), Bell argues that the Revolution was global from the very beginning. It drew participants from multiple continents, reshaped patterns of migration and trade, altered imperial policy from Canada to India, and inspired movements for liberty around the world. What Americans often remember as a national story was, in reality, a global convulsion.Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Cette semaine, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit Aurélie Julia, la directrice de La Revue des Deux Mondes, qui dans son dernier numéro en date (mai-juin) nous propose une réflexion sur les « Mécaniques de la haine ». À l'heure où la violence verbale, les antagonismes identitaires, l'intolérance dominent les débats sur les réseaux dits sociaux notamment, la publication propose une exploration à la fois philosophique, politique, historique de la haine. Dans son éditorial, et au cours de ce numéro d'Idées, Aurélie Julia fait un diagnostic sans détour : la haine est partout, donnant ainsi raison à Pascal qui disait que « tous les hommes se haïssent naturellement l'un l'autre ». Dans un monde saturé d'incertitudes, la haine offre une identité, une posture, parfois même une appartenance. La directrice de la revue n'est pas du genre à baisser les bras mais elle est réaliste aussi : « il faut beaucoup de lucidité et de courage pour bannir, en son for intérieur, cette habitude délétère d'affirmer le soi par la haine » écrit-elle. Au fil des pages, les articles de ce numéro abordent la haine sous plusieurs aspects. Catherine Van Offelen analyse Internet comme une « fabrique de la haine connectée ». Selon elle, l'utopie initiale d'un espace d'émancipation a laissé place à un environnement où l'anonymat, l'immédiateté et le mimétisme favorisent la radicalisation des affects. Le numérique n'invente pas la haine : il la déchaîne, la rend virale, la désinhibe. Dans un article intitulé : « Une pulsion contemporaine ? » Astrid du Lau d'Allemans, psychanalyste, interroge la dimension anthropologique de la haine. Elle montre comment la peur, l'insécurité et l'humiliation nourrissent une pulsion ancienne. Jean‑Dominique Merchet décrit, lui, la manière dont les États mobilisent la haine pour souder les identités, désigner des ennemis et légitimer la violence. La haine devient un outil stratégique, un levier de mobilisation collective. Agrégée de le lettres, Delphine Jouenne montre comment la dégradation du langage — insultes, simplifications, slogans — prépare le terrain à la violence politique. Le langage n'est pas seulement un symptôme : il est un vecteur de haine. On ne peut que la remercier, Aurélie Julia nous offre un florilège de citations de la philosophe Hannah Arendt. Comme celle-ci : « C'est dans le vide de la pensée que s'inscrit le mal ». La haine prospère lorsque la pensée se retire. Jacques de Saint Victor analyse la manière dont les accusations de fascisme — parfois instrumentalisées — saturent le débat public. Dans un article troublant, Philippe Delaroche, quant à lui, rappelle que « le nazisme a été tendance », soulignant combien la fascination collective peut précéder la catastrophe. On lira également la contribution très actuelle, hélas, de David Reinharc, intitulée « La cible juive » consacrée à la résurgence de l'antisémitisme.   Programmation musicale :  Y'a d'la haine - Rita Mitsouko LangaJ RaLaviré - Jowee Omicil Direction Technopole - Baby Boom.

Cette semaine, dans ce numéro d'Idées, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit le journaliste Pierre Haski. Avec lui, cinquante ans de reportages au long cours nous contemplent. Il est aujourd'hui un des plus fins analystes du monde qui vient. Dans son livre qui s'intitule La fin d'un monde (Stock),  il revient sur son parcours, les lieux, les visages, les événements qui ont façonné sa compréhension du monde. Il analyse les soubresauts du monde hérité de l'après-guerre. « Je suis né en un lieu et à une époque qui ont sans doute décidé du reste de ma vie : Tunis, en 1953… » écrit-il. Sa vie est un roman. On le constate en l'écoutant, Pierre Haski écrit depuis une position enviable : celle d'un journaliste qui a traversé la fin de l'apartheid, la transition post‑maoïste en Chine, les guerres du Moyen‑Orient, l'effondrement des régimes communistes, la mondialisation triomphante puis sa remise en question aujourd'hui. Ses souvenirs ne sont pas des anecdotes : ils constituent des points d'observation privilégiés pour saisir les lignes de force du présent et du passé. Ainsi, raconte-t-il, par exemple, son arrivée à Zanzibar dans les années 1970, jeune reporter découvrant un pays marqué par les séquelles du colonialisme et les tensions de la guerre froide. Son expérience sud‑africaine est l'un des fils rouges du livre. Il y observe la chute de l'apartheid, la transition démocratique, puis les désillusions. Ces souvenirs nourrissent une réflexion plus large. Les transitions sont longues, fragiles, souvent décevantes. D'ailleurs le continent africain est fort présent dans son livre et dans ses propos tenus au micro où il nous parle par exemple de Thomas Sankara, l'ancien président du Burkina-Faso. Correspondant à Pékin dans les années 2000, Haski voit la Chine passer du statut « d'usine du monde » à celui de puissance technologique et stratégique. Il raconte les illusions occidentales, les erreurs d'analyse, la fascination mêlée d'aveuglement. Ses souvenirs personnels — conversations, scènes de rue, rencontres avec des dissidents — donnent chair à une idée force. La Chine donne le ton dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. « Pour guetter l'avenir, regarder vers la Chine ». De la Roumanie à la Russie, Haski décrit les espoirs de 1989, puis les dérives autoritaires, les nationalismes, les frustrations économiques. Ses souvenirs montrent comment les promesses non tenues ont nourri les populismes actuels. Fervent européen, il précise que l'Europe n'est pas réductible à l'UE : « On ne tombe pas amoureux d'une structure politique », lance-t-il. Son constat est d'une implacable lucidité : l'ordre international né en 1945 — multilatéralisme, droit international, leadership occidental — est remis en question. Au fil de ce numéro du magazine Idées et des pages du livre, Pierre Haski se livre aussi à une méditation sur le journalisme : la transformation des médias par le numérique, la difficulté croissante de « voir » le monde derrière les propagandes, les réseaux sociaux, les récits nationaux. Il cite Hannah Arendt qui soulignait qu'avec les mensonges, un peuple ne croit plus en rien, ne peut se faire une opinion, et se trouve placé sous la menace de quiconque veut le manipuler. Malgré le titre, le journaliste - qui tient à préciser que son livre ne s'intitule pas La fin du monde mais La fin d'un monde - ne cède ni au catastrophisme ni à la nostalgie, il croit encore à la possibilité d'un monde commun — à condition de repenser nos institutions, nos alliances et notre façon de voir les peuples. Pierre Haski a créé sa chaîne sur YouTube : « Le Monde de Pierre Haski ».   Programmation musicale :  Amakhamandela - BCUC Sankara  - Gabin Dabiré Karma Code - Skai Isyourgod Mopti - Ray Lema ; Ensemble Partage.

Frédéric Samama est auteur de L'énigme de l'inaction climatique et pionnier de la finance verte et alors que nous vivons un de ces épisodes de canicule aujourd'hui, il m'a semblé essentiel d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi nous savons depuis 70 ans et nous ne faisons rien. En 2009, il a monté le premier centre de recherche mondial sur la finance et le climat, lancé les premiers indices low carbone et créé la première coalition d'investisseurs à la COP21. Et pourtant, son livre ne parle pas de finance. Il parle de cerveau, d'histoire, de philosophie et d'une question qui l'obsède depuis cinq ans : pourquoi, sur un problème que tout le monde connaît, que l'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce, on n'arrive pas à bouger ?Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de neurosciences cognitives, d'inférence bayésienne, de moments fromages dans l'histoire de l'humanité, et du lien entre capitalisme, néolibéralisme et perte de nos réflexes moraux. J'ai questionné Frédéric sur l'overview effect des astronautes, sur Lévinas et la philosophie du visage, sur Jean Cavaillès et la résistance, et sur ce que tout ça dit de notre capacité à réinventer nos représentations du monde face à l'urgence climatique.Citations marquantes"Sur un problème où tout le monde est au courant, qu'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce — pourquoi diable, on n'arrive pas à se mettre en mouvement ?" (0:29:00)"Le capitalisme, c'est comment tu fais vivre des gens ensemble en dehors de règles morales et religieuses. Et maintenant qu'on fait face à un défi moral, qui est le défi du climat, on ne sait plus faire." (0:19:30)"Face à l'enjeu moral, c'est l'action qui doit prévaloir — et pas la réflexion de est-ce qu'on est optimiste, négatif, et ainsi de suite." (1:06:44)"On a voulu détendre le lien social. En cas de problème, il n'y a plus personne, et donc il n'y a plus de devoir — on ne demande que des droits." (0:26:30)"Le climat, ce n'est plus seulement la plus grosse menace. C'est aussi la plus belle opportunité de réapprendre à vivre ensemble, nous, les 8 milliards de personnes sur Terre." (1:12:00)Big Ideas1. Notre cerveau construit des modèles à partir de signaux — et s'y enferme L'inférence bayésienne selon Stanislas Dehaene : le cerveau observe des signaux et fabrique des lois du monde. Agassi qui lit le service de Becker, le bébé qui comprend la gravité, le rat dans le labyrinthe — tous fonctionnent pareil. Le problème : une fois le modèle établi, on arrête de le mettre à jour. On entre en surconfiance. C'est exactement ce qui se passe avec le climat : on sait, mais on ne change pas de modèle. (0:02:37)2. L'histoire humaine s'est organisée autour de "moments fromages" — et le climat en exige un nouveau Deux grandes ruptures : l'agriculture et la science moderne (accès aux ressources naturelles), puis le néolibéralisme (accès aux ressources humaines mondiales). À chaque fois, l'humanité a réorganisé ses représentations. Le climat est la première fois qu'on nous demande de limiter l'accès aux ressources — un défi sans précédent pour des cerveaux conditionnés à l'expansion. (0:07:43)3. Le capitalisme a délibérément mis la morale hors jeu Au XVIIe siècle, la grande question était : comment faire vivre des gens ensemble sans passer par la morale ou la religion, qui créent des guerres ? La réponse : l'intérêt personnel. Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Hirschman ont construit un système où l'égoïsme profite à la société. Ça a marché. Mais le climat est un problème moral (les plus faibles meurent en premier) — et on n'a plus les réflexes pour ça. (0:14:55)4. L'overview effect comme signal de bascule possible Les astronautes dans l'espace deviennent poètes. Ils voient la planète fragile, belle, vivante. Frédéric propose ces trois perceptions comme signal capable de réécrire nos représentations. La fragilité déclenche la responsabilité (Lévinas). La beauté prépare à la morale (Kant). Le vivant nous réintègre dans la nature après des siècles d'extraction. Pas un programme politique — une hypothèse sur comment les cerveaux humains peuvent changer. (0:39:00)5. Face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus l'espoir — c'est l'action Jean Cavaillès, philosophe-mathématicien résistant, incarne la réponse. En mai 1941, zéro espoir objectif. Et pourtant il agit — parce que face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus "quelle est la probabilité ?" mais "quelle est mon obligation ?". C'est la même logique que d'appeler les pompiers pour quelqu'un qui fait une crise cardiaque dont on sait qu'elle sera fatale. On agit. Pas parce qu'on espère, mais parce qu'on doit. (1:04:06)Questions poséesQu'est-ce que l'anecdote d'Agassi et Becker révèle sur le fonctionnement du cerveau humain ?Quels sont les grands "moments fromages" de l'histoire de l'humanité, et où en sommes-nous aujourd'hui ?Comment définirais-tu le capitalisme à son origine — et en quoi diffère-t-il du néolibéralisme ?Pourquoi le néolibéralisme a-t-il dissous le lien social, et quelles en sont les conséquences concrètes ?Sur un problème aussi connu et aussi grave que le climat, pourquoi l'humanité n'arrive-t-elle pas à se mettre en mouvement ?Qu'est-ce que l'inférence bayésienne nous apprend sur notre incapacité à mettre à jour nos modèles face au climat ?Qu'est-ce que les astronautes et l'overview effect peuvent nous apprendre sur comment changer nos représentations collectives ?Comment Lévinas et Kant peuvent-ils nous aider à repenser notre rapport au problème climatique ?Qui était Jean Cavaillès, et pourquoi son histoire est-elle une réponse au problème de l'inaction ?Si le signal qui change nos représentations n'est pas encore arrivé, qu'est-ce qui pourrait en tenir lieu à l'échelle de nos sociétés ?Références citéesPersonnes et penseursStanislas Dehaene — chaire de sciences cognitives, Collège de France (0:04:00)André Agassi / Boris Becker — anecdote du service et de la langue (0:02:37)Max Weber — thèse sur la naissance du capitalisme (0:13:00)Albert Hirschman — économiste, auteur sur l'origine du capitalisme (0:13:00)Marcel Enaf — sur le commerce pré-capitaliste (0:17:29)Machiavel, Spinoza, Galilée, Montesquieu, Adam Smith — généalogie du capitalisme (0:15:25)Milton Friedman — article dans le New York Times sur le néolibéralisme (0:19:54)Emmanuel Lévinas — philosophe lituanien, "le visage d'autrui" et l'éthique (0:42:44)Emmanuel Kant — la beauté, le désintérêt et la morale (0:44:30)Michel Serres — "on mesure l'ampleur d'un problème à la durée qu'il a mise à se former" (0:33:34)Robin Dunbar — nombre de 150, limite de coordination des groupes humains (0:34:22)Hannah Arendt et Karl Polanyi — fascisme comme réaction au libéralisme du XIXe siècle (1:07:50)Henri Bergson — envoyé aux États-Unis pour convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre (0:53:43)Président Wilson — discours d'entrée en guerre au nom de valeurs morales, 1917 (0:54:30)Jean Cavaillès — philosophe-mathématicien résistant, fusillé (1:02:11)Raymond Aron — "Si Jean Cavaillès avait vécu, j'aurais dit moins de bêtises" (1:04:06)Pierre Brossolette, Jean Moulin — résistants évoqués en parallèle (1:05:00)Concepts et événementsInférence bayésienne — mécanisme cognitif de construction de modèles (0:47:50)Overview effect — phénomène de bascule perceptuelle chez les astronautes (0:39:30)Théorie des "moments fromages" — concept central du livre (0:07:43)Bulle des tulipes — première crise financière spéculative, XVIIe siècle (0:50:23)COP21 — coalition d'investisseurs créée par Frédéric (0:27:33)Passage à l'an 2000 (bug Y2K) — contre-exemple de mobilisation rapide (0:30:00)Protocole de Montréal / couche d'ozone — résolu en 18 mois (0:51:43)Timestamps clés00:00 Introduction — Et si on se réjouissait à nouveau du futur ?

Qu'est-ce qui est fondamentalement différent avec le climat ? 53:43 Bergson à la Maison-Blanche La France envoie le philosophe Henri Bergson convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre. Il réussit. Ce que ça dit du pouvoir des valeurs morales en politique. 1:00:14 Je ne cherche pas à avoir de l'espoir Frédéric explique pourquoi la question n'est pas l'espoir — avec mai 1941 comme exemple. 1:02:11 Jean Cavaillès — le héros oublié de la résistance Fils de militaire, philosophe-mathématicien, major de Normale Sup tout seul. Et résistant. Fusillé dans une fosse commune. 1:06:29 La crise cardiaque et l'obligation morale "La probabilité que tu survives est nulle. Et pourtant, tu vas tout faire pour me sauver."
