Podcast appearances and mentions of Julian Baggini

Food is one of the most universal and essential parts of human life. From gourmet steaks to the everyday, humble, packet of crisps, food consumption is everywhere. But what do we actually know about how our food is grown? How is it processed? And how does it ends up on our supermarket shelves or in our restaurants and takeaways? While we may look back and think traditional food customs are more often in harmony with the natural environment, most of us today rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal. But how does it work, and what can philosophy say about food? Joining our discussion on food philosophy today is philosopher Julian Baggini. Baggini is an expert in popular philosophy with Sunday Times best-selling books such as How the World Thinks, How to Think Like a Philosopher and The Pig That Wants to be Eaten. He has served as the academic director of the Royal Institute of philosophy and is a member of the Food Ethics Council. He has written for The Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, the Financial Times, and Prospect Magazine, as well as a plethora of academic journals and think tanks. In his wide-ranging and definitive new book, How the World Eats, Baggini argues that the need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. Baggini delves into the best and worst food practises around the world in a huge array of different societies, past and present-exploring cutting edge technologies, the ethics and health of ultra processed food and the effectiveness of our food governance. His goal: to extract a food philosophy of essential principles, on which to build a food system fit for the 21st century and beyond. What is that food philosophy? Let's tuck in, and find out.

Ying und Yang ist bekannt, und von Konfuzius haben die meisten schon mal gehört. Doch ansonsten liegt der sogenannte Ferne Osten für viele im Westen weit weg. Der britische Philosoph Julian Baggini will dies ändern und erklärt, was der Okzident von aussereuropäischen Denktraditionen lernen kann. Er ist einer der bekanntesten Philosophen Grossbritanniens. Julian Baggini schreibt Bestseller, moderiert erfolgreich und amüsant am Fernsehen und weiss, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält. Doch die westliche Welt wurde ihm zu eng, und so begann er, Ostasien zu bereisen und zu erforschen, als philosophischer Journalist. Und nun versucht er, beide Welten zu verbinden. Er erklärt uns, warum individuelle Freiheit und gesellschaftliche Harmonie kein Widerspruch sind, warum Schönheit und Traurigkeit in Verbindung stehen, und weshalb die Menschen im Westen ihr starres Weltbild in Richtung eines veränderlichen und ganzheitlicheren Bildes erweitern sollten. Yves Bossart spricht mit Julian Baggini über Rituale, Karma und das Kirschblütenfest und beantwortet die Frage, ob es – frei nach Adorno – ein richtiges Essen im Falschen gibt.

Thought-provoking, stoic, and criminally underrated.

For the last few years, philosopher Julian Baggini has been exploring the hidden forces that shape our food choices — from the debates over organic vs. conventional farming to the global inequalities baked into our supply chains to the science of the optimal diet. He joins us to share a few key insights from his book How the World Eats.

The philosopher and journalist talks to Mark about why the big picture surrounding food confuses people, and what we can do to remedy that dynamic; what surprised him most in his research around the global food landscape; and 'food citizens' vs 'food consumers.'Read an excerpt from Julian Baggini's new book, 'How the World Eats,' on the Bittman Project: https://bittmanproject.com/how-the-world-eats/Subscribe to Food with Mark Bittman on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen, and please help us grow by leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.Follow Mark on Twitter at @bittman, and on Facebook and Instagram at @markbittman.

I am thrilled to announce that our new book, the Kindness Daily Reader: Season One, is now available on Amazon. (See Link Below)  Secondly, we are embarking on a new chapter with Season Three of the One Kind Moment podcast. In Season One, we primarily focused on broad topics of kindness and compassion, while in Season Two, we explored areas such as self-compassion, self-help, and self-care. Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. EXPLORE OUR NEW BOOK!

The need a for better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. Most of us rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal. Jennie reflects on the dysfunctional nature of our food world, inspired by Julian Baggini's "How the World Eats". Fixing it will require wholistic thinking.

You might have noticed that everyone has recently become a bit obsessed with blood sugar, or glucose. Wellness firms such as Zoe in the UK – as well as Nutrisense, Levels and Signos – claim to offer insights into how our bodies process food based on monitoring our blood glucose, among other things. But many researchers have begun to question the science behind this. In this episode from July, Ian Sample talks to the philosopher Julian Baggini, Zoe's chief scientist, the University of Oxford academic dietician Dr Nicola Guess, and the King's College London nutrition expert Prof Sarah Berry to find out what we know about blood glucose levels and our health, and whether the science is nailed down on personalised nutrition.

There's a food theme in this week's episode as we head to Wigtown to chat to The Hebridean Baker Coinneach MacLeod, food historian Pen Vogler on her books Scoff and Stuffed and philosopher Julian Baggini tells us How The World Eats. Plus we get the Books of Your Life from Gareth Brown and find new books in the RNIB Library. The image used is a fun collage featuring moments from the Wigtown Book Festival, along with some of the authors and their works. On the top left, there's the festival's lovely handwritten-style logo with little birds fluttering around it. Just beside that, we see the cover of The Hebridean Baker by Coinneach MacLeod, showcasing a man in a kilt standing in the rugged Scottish outdoors—probably hinting at some great Scottish baking stories! To the right, we have the RNIB Connect Radio logo. In the middle left, there's a picture of three smiling people: Robert Kirkwood (who you might know from RNIB Radio) is standing on the left, holding a microphone. Next to him is Coinneach MacLeod holding a book, and to the right of him is Pen Vogler, who is holding her book Stuffed: A History of Good Food and Hard Times. Then, on the center right, there's a nice portrait of Pen Vogler herself, looking thoughtful and confident, with her book cover prominently displayed next to her. Moving down to the bottom, on the left is the colorful cover of How the World Eats by Julian Baggini, which seems to explore food from different cultures across the globe. And on the bottom right, there's a picture of Julian Baggini himself, standing casually outdoors against a stone wall. All in all, this collage gives a taste of the authors and books you'd encounter at the festival, with a nice focus on food and culture.

How might one think like a Philosopher in the workplace?  In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, diving into a book by a previous guest, Dr Julian Baggini's “How to Think like a Philosopher” " the Occupational Philosophers discuss exactly that!  Julian Baggini has 12 key principles that the book is built around for a more humane, balanced, and rational approach to thinking.  These include:  Pay attention  Question everything (including your questions) Watch your steps Follow the facts  Watch your language  Be eclectic  Be a psychologist  Know what matters  Lose your ego  Think for yourself, not by yourself  Only connect  Don't give up. Whilst they don't want to big themselves up, The Occupational Philosophers think that diving into Julian's Book helps them sound a little more intelligent than normal! Whilst you may not agree that they sound smarter, the book is excellent.  They hope you enjoy the show.  FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a fruity burst of energy to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.   References: Selective Attention: Gorilla walking video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo  Julian Baggini “How to think like a Philosopher”  https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/62708028-how-to-think-like-a-philosopher    Say Hello www.occupationalphilosophers.com   Their day jobs JOHN: https://www.bowlandconsulting.com/ SIMON: www.simonbanks.com.au SIMON SHOWREEL: https://youtu.be/YZQdJI6qGvg

Confirmation Bias. Free will. Religious programming. The origin of beliefs. The separation of our 'self' and our identity. Happiness as a goal. Our need for certainty and familiarity. In this chat, Dr. Julian Baggini and I explore all these topics and more. Julian is a Philosopher, Journalist, and the Author of over 20 books about philosophy written for a general audience. He is co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine and has written for numerous international newspapers and magazines. In addition to writing on the subject of philosophy, he has also written books on atheism, secularism and the nature of national identity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

¡Por fin la Generalidad se acerca a los hechos! Eso pareció, al menos, con su primera reacción a los resultados de Cataluña en el informe PISA: los inmigrantes tienen que ver. Lástima que lo hiciera para tapar su propia responsabilidad en el desastre educativo. Diez años después, la olla a presión del proceso estalla en todo su esplendor. No solamente los bancos cambian de sede, también los espíritus huyen. Por lo demás, celebra que se emprenda el camino de la realidad, y espera que el acercamiento se aplique también al aumento de las agresiones sexuales y los crímenes de pareja. Los inmigrantes tienen que ver. Tras abominar del espectáculo de casino en que ha convertido Armengol la institución que preside, tuvo que clamar, una vez más, contra el prestigio del nacionalismo, auténtico causante de los males de España. No entiende cómo cada seis meses enarbolan la Constitución y dicen que habría que cambiarla por alguna u otra razón. Esconden la única verdadera: que se reconozca el derecho a la autodeterminación. ¡Y eso no pasará! Comentaron la fascinante existencia de la “mano caliente” no solamente aplicada al futbolista Rodrygo sino a la colectividad, que Santos resumió con un aforismo a la mexicana: cuanto más la metes, más la metes. Y sin separarse mucho del tema, comentaron otra extraordinaria noticia: las chicas los prefieren mayores por su economía saneada y su conocimiento del clítoris. Súmese a esto, quiso precisar, la existencia de las pastillas que mantienen sano también el músculo. Y fue así que Espada yiró. Bibliografía: -       El cerdo que quería ser jamón, de Julian Baggini.

Can we rely on science for the answers?Looking for a link we mentioned? Find it here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesScience is the belief in the ignorance of experts' argued Richard Feynman. He held that the best science respects no authority and is not a learnt set of facts, but a rigorous method of questioning in search of a better account. Yet in the pandemic governments and commentators propounded the opposite, that experts should be followed without question. Feynman proposed that good science guesses at theories and then looks to see whether they are supported by the data. But in public debate there is rarely clarity about the theory and little focus on the data.Should we see science not as an agreed body of knowledge but a method to improve our account of the world? Should science never have been seen as an authority? Or are authorities necessary since we cannot all test all of the theories all of the time?Author of How The World Thinks Julian Baggini, philosopher of biology Ellen Clarke, and radical philosopher Ben Burgis tackle our diminishing trust in experts and what to do about it.

Is human agency a fantasy?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWe may not always agree on questions of morality, but whatever standards we adopt we apply them to human action. We are less inclined to take a moral stance on human inaction and failure to act. Many would argue that Putin's attack on the Ukrainian people is morally evil, but there is less outrage that we fail to save any of the estimated 5.4 million children under five who died last year from preventable causes.Is our moral emphasis on human agency a mistake? If we applied morality equally to inaction would it help to mark a shift to a more caring and socially responsible society? Or is the application of morality to inaction an impossible burden for us to carry, and one that risks undermining morality as a whole as we all become culpable all of the time?Legendary moral philosopher Peter Singer (joining us live from Australia), eminent philosopher Julian Baggini and provocative biographer Sophie Scott-Brown clash over morality.

In this episode, we critically examine 5 principles of Rational Thinking as outlined by philosopher Julian Baggini.

Does science have anything to say about our freedom of choice?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesA famed experiment, by Libet in the 1980s, led many scientists and philosophers to argue that free will was an illusion. Despite the experiment being challenged at the time and in recent studies, its legacy persists. Many materialists still contend that free will has been shown to be illusory, supporting their belief that humans are merely biological machines. We often imagine that experiment settles the matter, but should we instead conclude that our interpretation of experiment is a function of our desire to believe its outcome? Or can empiricism really determine the existence or non-existence of free will?Prolific British writer, philosopher and co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine, Julian Baggini, renowned Australian philosopher of science, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and leading British neuroscientist and UCL professor, Sarah Garfinkel, argue about empiricism and its role in determining the existence of free will.

Philosopher and acclaimed author, Julian Baggini, leading molecular biologist, Güneş Taylor, and critical race theorist, Tommy Curry, debate the relationship between reason and emotion. Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFor centuries we have assumed reason to be ruthlessly independent of passion or emotion. Yet Nietzsche argued that reason is an emotional experience, and now neuroscientists have shown sad moods can trigger systematic and logical thinking. Furthermore, studies have shown that emotion plays a crucial part in grounding reason in reality, essential to our being able to make decisions.Is it a mistake to think reason and emotion are quite separate, and instead conclude they are deeply connected? Does this threaten the calm and considered assessment of events required for social wellbeing and decision making? Or does it liberate us to think afresh knowing that there isn't only one rational way to think?There are thousands of big ideas to discover at IAI.tv – videos, articles, and courses waiting for you to explore.

Get ready for me to run down some philosophical rabbit holes with Julian Baggini. I mean what else would I do when blessed with such an esteemed andeste prolific writer, philosopher and expert in personal identity? Given Julian's PhD research in personal identity, we're diving deep into what makes us who we are and how we relate to our identity. We unpack thinking and how to think critically (ie: realise that everything we 'know' has the capacity to be rubbish). Yet again, I couldn't help but open up the free will can of worms and get Julian's perspective. Oh, and by the way Julian, how do we decipher whether research is actually reliable or just well-dressed bullshit?  This was an interesting and fun topic!

The writer Sarah Bakewell explores the long tradition of humanist thought in her latest book, Humanly Possible. She celebrates the writers, thinkers, artists and scientists over the last 700 years who have placed humanity at the centre, while defying the forces of religion, fanatics, mystics and tyrants. But placing humans at the centre isn't without problems – critics point to its anthropocentric nature and excessive rationalism and individualism, as well its Euro-centric history. The philosopher Julian Baggini guides the listener in unpicking the tenets of humanism. His latest books is How to Think Like a Philosopher: Essential Principles for Clearer Thinking. Humanism may have relegated the divine to the side lines, but for the characters in Leila Aboulela's novels faith and devotion are integral to their sense of themselves. In her latest book, River Spirit, set in Sudan in the 1880s, her young protagonists struggle to survive and find love amidst the bloody struggle for Sudan itself. Producer: Katy Hickman

Are we right to abandon objective truth? Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesIt has been forty years since postmodernism swept through the academy changing the character of the arts and social sciences, impacting everything from literary criticism to anthropology, art history to sociology. Soon after it invaded culture generally and technical terms such as 'deconstruction' became widespread. Yet now its critics, including members of the British Cabinet, argue it ushered in an era of tribal conflict, woke culture, and populist deception and is at the source of a pernicious decline in reason and objective truth.Should we seek to reverse the changes that postmodernism brought about and overturn its attack on the intellectual tradition of the West? Or was postmodernism a progressive force whose insights were largely correct? Or, do we need a new radical approach altogether?Co-founder and editor of The Philosophers' Magazine Julian Baggini, award-winning journalist Minna Salami, radical philosopher Hilary Lawson and boundary pushing feminist Julie Bindel line up as prosecution and defence with postmodernism in the dock.

No one will accuse our next guest of doing philosophy in an isolated fashion. Julian Baggini is a writer and philosopher, and currently the Director of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. His latest book is titled “How the World Thinks: A Global History of Philosophy.” Julian is also the co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine and has written for numerous international newspapers and magazines.  Julian and Greg discuss the legacy of Hume in this episode, while also diving into how someone can stay a generalist in the modern philosophy world, the scarcity of common sense and the sincerity of moral arguments.Episode Quotes:The most objective way of seeing the world33:16: The most objective way of seeing the world is purely through your own eyes, your own sort of words with reference to nothing else. Your view becomes more objective the more you can see the world in ways that can be shared with other people and perhaps ultimately with creatures that have very different perceptual apparatus to us and so forth.A little critical thinking is a dangerous thing09:22: People say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. A little critical thinking is a dangerous thing if you don't do it very well.Why is it that philosophers still disagree about everything?15:29: So you've only got two explanations:. One is that some people are more intelligent than others. Some philosophers simply are better philosophers than others. They've got the right answer and the people who disagree with them have got the wrong answer. Or that people of equal intelligence, knowledge, and skills and all these things can make different judgments about which way to jump on something. That's the uncomfortable but honest answer.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Sam Harris, Moral Landscape bookPatricia ChurchlandDavid HumeThomas Nagel, A View From Nowhere bookGuest Profile:Professional Profile at The GuardianSpeaker's Profile at VBQ SpeakersJulian Baggini's WebsiteJulian Baggini on LinkedInJulian Baggini on TwitterJulian Baggini on FacebookJulian Baggini at TEDxYouth@ManchesterHis Work:Julian Baggini on AeonThe Godless Gospel: Was Jesus A Great Moral Teacher?Babette's Feast (BFI Film Classics) Life: A User's Manual: Philosophy for Every and Any Eventuality How the World Thinks: A Global History of PhilosophyA Short History of Truth: Consolations for a Post-Truth WorldHume on ReligionThe Edge of Reason: A Rational Skeptic in an Irrational World The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten: 100 Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher The Great Guide: What David Hume Can Teach Us about Being Human and Living Well

Do we need suffering to lead a meaningful life? Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFrom the plots of Hollywood movies to the roots of Christianity, many see value in adversity and suffering. Be it in character building boot camps or overcoming the trials of a difficult childhood or adult life. Yet the great majority of us do our very best to avoid suffering in our own lives.Should we conclude that the value of adversity and suffering is an illusion? A hangover from Christianity that modernity needs to excise? Or is it a vital and critical element in building personality and enabling a meaningful, fulfilling and significant life? Britain's most beloved psychotherapist and author of “Fat is a Feminist Issue” Susie Orbach, renowned transhumanist Anders Sandberg, and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bristol Havi Carel explore the significance of suffering in modern society.

Are 'facts' a tool for manipulation? Listen to find out!Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFacts and reason are essential if we are to make progress and create a better world. At least that's how it used to be. But now it seems everyone has their own 'facts'. Our political leaders have 'alternative' facts, but so, it is also claimed, do the liberal elite and the mainstream media. Meanwhile, reason has been derided by many as a typically male bludgeon to deny alternative views. Should we welcome the challenge to facts and reason as a progressive move undermining the authority of traditional Western hierarchies? Or is the undermining of facts and reason a singularly dangerous exercise?Professor of Philosophy at the Open University Sophie-Grace Chappell, Professor of Philosophy at Stockholm University Anandi Hattiangadi and Professor of Philosophy at the New College of the Humanities Simon Blackburn dicuss the changing value of truth in contemporary society.

Can we be sure there is a physical reality? Our philosophers and scientists debate.Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimes No-one who has ever stepped on a Lego brick could doubt the reality of physical objects. Yet from Heraclitus to George Berkeley, many philosophers claimed to have disproven the existence of things. Now even high-energy particle physicists are inclined to agree and describe material stuff as energy, or even as mathematical constructs. Could the world truly be made up of fields and processes, rather than physical stuff? Or is science trapped in a philosophical fantasy from which it needs to escape?Chemist and Fellow of Lincoln College Peter Atkins, Philosopher of Science at the University of Bristol James Ladyman and author of A Field Guide to Reality Joanna Kavenna debate whether the everyday objects that surround us are an illusion.
