More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/mary-midgley. Mary Midgley became one of the best known public intellectuals in the UK, and was one of the first philosophers to talk about climate change. Though she didn't publish her first book—Beast and Man—till she was 59, she wrote many influential works on science, ethics, and animal rights. So, why did Midgley argue that the climate crisis was ultimately a conceptual problem? What was her criticism of scientism, the view that only science can provide knowledge about the world around us? And why did she think the work of the philosopher is a bit like that of the plumber? Josh and Ray explore her life and thought with Clare Mac Cumhaill from Durham University, co-author of "Metaphysical Animals: How Four Women Brought Philosophy Back to Life." Part of the "Wise Women" series, generously supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Picture yourself glancing upward only to meet the gaze of an imposing 8-foot-tall figure known as the Hatman, peering down at you. This chilling encounter is precisely what our guest, Hailey Midgley, host of the Haunted & Healing Podcast, experienced firsthand. Raised in a home steeped in paranormal activity, where a malevolent demonic presence seemed intent on targeting her family, Hailey's life has been deeply intertwined with the supernatural from an early age—a connection that persists to this day. In her current residence in Utah, she contends with shadowy entities that linger in the periphery and encounters animals that appear to bear strangely disguised visages. Could these be manifestations of skinwalkers, entities born from loss and steeped in eerie folklore? Hailey is convinced of it.

What happens when we take a hard look at modern philosophy's giants—from Sartre's dilemmas to Midgley's cultural critiques, and the postmodern unraveling of truth by Foucault and Derrida? In this episode, we dive into the ethical gaps left by these thinkers and explore Nietzsche's call for reevaluation, Camus's human-centered morality, and the enduring need for personal responsibility. Join us as we cut through the haze of postmodern skepticism to rediscover ethics as a living, breathing commitment to ourselves and others.

Philosophy is about concepts – what it is to be moral, to be in love, or belong to the human species – and these concepts pervade every aspect of our lives. Yet, what images come to mind when you think of Immanuel Kant, David Hume, or René Descartes? For many of us, we imagine Descartes in his armchair, Hume at his desk, and Kant on one of his solitary walks. We certainly don't imagine these figures, wearing boiler suits… For Mary Midgley, the image of a philosopher withdrawn from the realities of everyday affairs represents precisely where philosophy has gone wrong. For Midgley, philosophy is best understood – not as an exercise of self-indulgent scholarship – but as a sort of plumbing. Our concepts run through our societies like the pipes through our homes, and it's the job of the philosopher – that is, the plumber – to examine the pipes and keep the water from swamping the kitchen floor. For Midgley, we need philosophy, just as we need plumbing…philosophy's not a luxury; it's a necessity. Joining us to discuss the philosophy of Mary Midgley is Dr Ellie Robson. Dr Robson is a British Society for the History of Philosophy Postdoctoral Fellow and Teaching Associate at Nottingham University. Ellie – whose work primarily focuses on the history of philosophy and meta-ethics – is one of the leading scholars of philosophy on Mary Midgley's life and work. In this episode, she'll illustrate Midgley's meta-philosophy and meta-ethics through her analysis of the concept of beastliness. Let's dig up the floorboards and see what's leaking. Contents Part I.

Send us a Text Message.Thomas Midgley Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944) was an American mechanical and chemical engineer. He played a major role in developing leaded gasoline (tetraethyl lead) and some of the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), better known in the United States by the brand name Freon; both products were later banned from common use due to their harmful impact on human health and the environment. He was granted more than 100 patents over the course of his career.Midgley contracted polio in 1940 and was left disabled; in 1944, he was found strangled to death by a device he devised to allow him to get out of bed unassisted. It was reported to the public that he had been accidentally killed by his own invention, but his death was declared by the coroner to be a suicide.Read More about Thomas Midgley Jr.Interesting Video: The Man Who Accidentally Killed The Most People In HistorySPONSOR THIS PODCAST Podcasting takes time and money.

Just a couple years after Thomas Midgley, Jr. invented leaded gas in the 20s, he followed up that achievement by inventing chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which were sold by Du Pont under the brand name of Freon. The crown jewel of his work was the creation of Dichlorodifluoromethane, or CFC-12. This substance allowed for more people to experience the wonders of electric food refrigeration as well as indoor air conditioning. For over 40 years everyone assumed the Freon was perfectly safe, and in fact safer than other chemicals used in refrigeration. It wasn't until the 1970s, years after Midgley had died, that the horrible truth was discovered: CFCs were eating away at the Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a region in the stratosphere that absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light, which otherwise would potentially damage life. The deterioration of this protective layer threatened all life on earth with increased risk of cancer and other ecological problems. People realized the extent of the damage in 1985 when it was discovered that there was a massive hole in the Ozone layer above the Antarctic. This emergency situation led in 1987 to the creation of an international treaty called The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Because of this agreement, which was signed by all of the members of the United Nations and has an extremely high compliance rate, climate projections indicate that the ozone layer will return to 1980 levels between 2040 and 2066. One possible apocalypse averted because of global cooperation. This is the story of one guy who just wanted to make money for himself and the companies he worked for (specifically Frigidaire, General Motors, and DuPont), and how his second big invention eventually forced the entire world to pull off a massive effort to avoid global ecological disaster.

Thomas Midgley Jr. invented two things that were used all over the world. Firstly, he invented leaded gasoline. This helped car engines operate more efficiently, but at the cost of spewing poisonous gas everywhere. The second invention is Chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs." These substances, which were sold under the brand name Freon, had widespread applications in refrigerators and aerosols. But it eventually discovered that these CFCs were eating away at the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere. Ozone depletion allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, which can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The fact that a single individual invented both of these things which were slowly killing humanity before they were phased out, led Environmental historian J. R. McNeill to say that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history." Before Thomas Midgley died in 1944, he didn't see himself as destructive. Because the scientific community showered him with praise and prizes and accolades during his lifetime. And he didn't even have a reason to think he was doing anything bad because the government regulators who were tasked with protecting the American public gave his inventions a pass. This story represents a complete failure of tech entrepreneurs to consider the adverse impacts that their inventions might have, a failure of the scientific community to check one of their own, and a failure of supposed protectors of the public interest to do their jobs. And all of these failures basically meant that the generation after Midgley was forced to clean up his mess.

This year, 2023, marks the hundredth anniversary since chemical engineer Thomas Midgley, Jr. made the discoveries that led to the invention of leaded gasoline. Of all the many harms that the automobile has caused the environment and humanity over the last century, the effects of leaded gasoline have to be pretty close to the top of the list. Science and industry were well aware of the dangers of lead in the 1920s. But adding small amounts of it to motor fuel made internal combustion engines work better, and that made it possible to turn the automobile into a viable mass market product. As a result, pretty much every American born between 1960 and 1980 was, to some extent, poisoned by lead. In this episode, bestselling author Steven Johnson joins Aaron Naparstek to talk about Midgley, his legacy, and what his story can teach us about our technological inventions and their future consequences. ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive access to ad-free versions of all our episodes, exclusive bonus content and stickers.*** This episode is produced with support from Cleverhood.

In this episode Miles is joined by Greg McElwain (College of Idaho, USA) and Ellie Robson (Birkbeck, University of London)to discuss the life and work of Mary Midgley. Greg is Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at The College of Idaho, USA. His research focuses on the thought of Mary Midgley and the intersection of animal and environmental ethics. He is the author of Mary Midgley: An Introduction (Bloomsbury, 2020) and is currently working on a book based on his interviews with Midgley from 2011-18 titled Mary Midgley on What Matters: Conversations on Science, Ethics, and Nature (Bloomsbury, forthcoming). You can buy 'Mary Midgley: An Introduction' here: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781350047563 Ellie recently completed her PhD at Birkbeck, University of London. In her thesis, Ellie argues that Midgley's meta-ethics is best-read as a form of Neo-Aristotelian naturalism. Her research addresses the neglect of 20th century women philosophers from analytic philosophy and provides an explanation of Midgley's relative oversight within this tradition.

Thomas Midgley Jr., a brilliant scientist working for Dayton, Ohio research companies in the 1920, invented two world-changing products. He discovered a lead additive could stop the destructing knocking noise prevalent in early auto engines. And he discovered a supergas that allowed average homes to safely have refrigerators and air conditioners. It wasn't until decades after Midgley's death that his revolutionary creations were destroying the planet, and the life upon it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Midgley: a philosophical and theoretical framework of a scientific school or discipline within which theories, laws, and generalizations and the experiments performed in support of them are formulatedthe Freudian paradigm of psychoanalysisbroadly : a philosophical or theoretical framework of any kindA model or framework – a typical example or archetype. In short, paradigms don't just influence behavior, they drive it from within as a self-referential model, similar to an operating system.Why are we talking about paradigms again? As a behavior model, the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” is a paradigm-shifting tool.Thus, this tool/model ☝️ can help anyone diagnose and troubleshoot their long-term goals and/or personal transformation pursuits.Second, similar to "Plato's Cave" allegory, it reveals the power of a paradigm shift by altering what one understands by changing what one “sees.”As Jen says in this episode, "What's interesting is that until you become aware of the paradigms that have been handed to you growing up (by default), you'll never realize that you can create and choose your own paradigms." Choosing your own paradigm is a unique human superpower!Since paradigms drive behavior as a self-referential model - the very first, most important, paradigm shift one can make is understanding how they control and direct the paradigms that direct their behavior.Everyone can intentionally adopt paradigms that support their long-term goals and personal transformation pursuits.Much more about the model in my latest book, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY.Comment and share!Enjoy the show!Visit https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesTo learn more about P.A.R.R., just Google “P.A.R.R. and The Habit Factor.”→ Check out, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY my latest book.Get The Habit Factor® FREE with your audible trial! https://audibletrial.com/habits2goalsIt's time to make your goals “Automatic!”: https://automaticgoals.comFeedspot's “Top 10 Habit Podcasts You Must Follow in 2021”New listeners, grab your free habits 2 goals tracking template here: https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesFREE copy of As a Man Thinketh (PDF) right here:As a Man ThinkethSubscribe iTunes here!

“If you want small changes, work on your behavior; if you want quantum-leap changes, work on your paradigms." ~ Stephen Covey This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.Clichés can become so overly used that people forget their original intent.What does it really mean to have a “Paradigm-shift”?Paradigm by definition:nounpar·a·digm ˈper-ə-ˌdīm ˈpa-rə-, also -ˌdim: EXAMPLE, PATTERNespecially : an outstandingly clear or typical example or archetype… regard science as the paradigm of true knowledge.—G. C. J. Midgley: an example of a conjugation or declension showing a word in all its inflectional forms: a philosophical and theoretical framework of a scientific school or discipline within which theories, laws, and generalizations and the experiments performed in support of them are formulatedthe Freudian paradigm of psychoanalysisbroadly : a philosophical or theoretical framework of any kindA model or framework – a typical example or archetype. In short, paradigms don't just influence behavior, they drive it from within as a self-referential model, similar to an operating system.A paradigm shift has the potential to instantly alter decades of prior behavior patterns/habits.Yes. Instantly.This is precisely what Stephen Covey means by quantum leap (above) ☝️.EXAMPLE:A story I enjoy telling involves a neighbor-friend who insisted that she could, "Never quit smoking!" Henry Ford used to say, "Whether you think you can, or you can't, you're right."It was safe to say that her paradigm was, "I'm a smoker, and I will always smoke."Fast forward approximately eighteen months. I notice that she is exercising and had lost some weight. She looked terrific. I told her she looked healthy. She then declared, "I quit smoking too!"How is that possible? I wondered.She seemed committed to her story about never being able to quit smoking."I"m pregnant!" She nearly shouted.There you have it.That's a paradigm shift.Roles (like mother or father), titles, names, badges, even uniforms, etc., influence how people see themselves which influences their behavior.Observe the stories that unfold in your life relative to how you see yourself, your goals, and your ideals.How do you regard the world at large?Einstein's allegedly said, “The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a hostile or friendly universe.”The truth is, as I wrote in EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY, it's both a hostile and friendly universe.However, from that simple determination (a paradigm – a self-referential model) an array of decisions, actions, and behaviors spill forward to alter the results of one's life.Ask yourself what paradigms you have subscribed to. Which may need to change to alter your results?Comment and share!Enjoy the show!Visit https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesTo learn more about P.A.R.R., just Google “P.A.R.R. and The Habit Factor.”→ Check out, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY my latest book.Get The Habit Factor® FREE with your audible trial! https://audibletrial.com/habits2goalsIt's time to make your goals “Automatic!”: https://automaticgoals.comFeedspot's “Top 10 Habit Podcasts You Must Follow in 2021”New listeners, grab your free habits 2 goals tracking template here: https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesFREE copy of As a Man Thinketh (PDF) right here:As a Man ThinkethSubscribe iTunes here!

No começo do século passado, um homem chamado Thomas Midgley revolucionou a indústria automotiva. Na época, ele trabalhava para uma empresa de engenharia que prestava serviço para a General Motors. Midgley descobriu que, ao adicionar uma pequena quantidade de chumbo na gasolina, os motores ganhavam muito em potência e em eficiência, e quebravam menos. A descoberta permitiu carros maiores e mais confortáveis. Ajudou a criar os Estados Unidos das autoestradas e a moldar o fascínio do mundo inteiro pelos automóveis. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, envenenou o planeta com um metal pesado e nocivo à saúde humana. Anos mais tarde, ainda trabalhando para a GM, Midgley fez outra descoberta que revolucionaria a indústria. Ele foi o primeiro a usar o gás clorofluorcarbono na refrigeração. Os carros ganharam aparelhos de ar-condicionado, as casas ganharam geladeiras mais seguras e a humanidade ganhou latinhas de aerosol. Como consequência, o céu sobre a Antártica ganhou um buraco na camada de ozônio que tornou o câncer de pele e outras doenças mais comuns. A partir das invenções de Thomas Midgley, este episódio reflete sobre o impacto muitas vezes nocivo que nossas invenções causam no planeta. E sobre a postura da humanidade diante de questões atuais, como as mudanças climáticas provocadas pelo aquecimento global.

Thomas Midgley's inventions caused his own death, hastened the deaths of millions of people around the world, and very nearly extinguished all life on land. Midgley and his employers didn't set out to poison the air with leaded gasoline or wreck the ozone layer with CFCs - but while these dire consequences were unintended... could they have been anticipated?
