Can we have objective morality without metaphysics?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesJoin Simon Blackburn, renowned philosopher at Cambridge University, as he discusses navigating heated moral discussions, the play of perspective on moral dilemmas, and his notable disagreements with Richard Rorty. From understanding contentious topics to gaining insights into meta-ethics, Blackburn takes us on an enlightening journey into the depths of truth and its implications in the modern world.Simon Blackburn is an academic philosopher known for his work on meta-ethics and his attempts to popularise philosophy to a wider audience. He has published over a dozen books on various philosophical issues both for public and academic audiences, and has appeared on shows such as Radio 4's The Moral Maze and PBS's Closer to Truth. He is known for proposing a meta-ethical view called 'quasi-realism' which proposes that ethical statements are projections of emotional attitudes as if they were real features of the world. His latest book, On Truth (2018), examines various philosophical approaches to the concept of truth, in order to interrogate what it is, how we should think about it, and why it matters.There are thousands of big ideas to discover at IAI.tv – videos, articles, and courses waiting for you to explore.

On the occasion of International Women's Day 2023, we talk about Stoicism and beauty. (See below for timestamps to skip forward to)   Sharon Lebell is the author of the bestselling book The Art of Living which has inspired philosophy lovers and the modern Stoicism movement. Jennifer Baker is Professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston. She also writes for PsychologyToday.com Brittany Polat is the author of Journal Like a Stoic, the founder of Stoicare, a board member of Modern Stoicism and writes the Stoicism for Humans newsletter.  Sukhraj Gill is a London-based solicitor and the Aurelius Foundation manager. She enjoys reading around Stoic ideas and practice. Kathryn Koromilas is a writer, educator and coach. She is a board member of Modern Stoicism, hosts The Stoic Salon Podcast and writes the Stoic State of Mind newsletter. In the age of the Instagram Selfie, isn't it true that many of us focus, often as a priority, on our physical beauty so that we might attract a lover, a life partner, or even a reputation, a career, or a social media following?  But what if our real beauty is (and always was) found in the beauty of our mind and our reason, our character, our behaviour, our care for others?  How might we as women help each other (but also help our partners, friends, and children of all genders) become aware that we (and they) are valued for moral beauty above all else?  We'll explore what the Stoics might teach us about valuing our own internal, moral beauty, and also what they say about physical beauty. How might we do this? What are the challenges today?    Two quotes to think about:  If we could examine the mind of a good woman, O what a beautiful, what a sacred sight we would see! What grandeur, what calm would shine forth in it, and what constellations of the virtues: justice on one side, courage on the other, moderation and prudence over there. Besides these, frugality, self-control, endurance, generosity, and cheerfulness would shed their light upon it … what grace, and, by god, what dignity would these bestow! How great its authority would be, and how much appreciated: beloved it would be, yet at the same time revered. Seneca, Letters on Ethics, 115.3   As soon as they reach the age of fourteen, women are called ladies or mistresses of the house; they've grown up and gained some power. And now they see that there's nothing more to gain except to become sexually attractive. So, they set to work to beautify themselves and place all their hopes in that. It is worth our while, then, to make them aware that they're valued for nothing other than attaining self-control and self-respect. Epictetus, Encheiridion, 40     Timestamps Chapters 00:00 A quote about the beautiful mind 01:15 Welcome to the podcast by Kathryn Koromilas 01:30 Introducing the speakers and the theme 04:10 We begin with an opening round, inviting speakers for general introduction and comment on beauty 05:45 Sharon Lebell begins 07:36 Jennifer Baker opening comments 10:25 Brittany Polat opening comments 12:59 Sukhraj Gill opening comments 16:45 Kathryn Koromilas opening comments 20:05 Kathryn reads Epictetus quote (Enchiridion 40) 21:50 Brittany on advice to her daughter and defining moral beauty and moral elevation 24:56 Kathryn reads Seneca quote on the beautiful mind 26:00 Sharon responds to Seneca and explores the power of moral beauty and also addresses the specific challenges that women face, the vulnerability that goes with beauty for females, beauty is complicated 30:07 Jennifer talks about children and how to manage comments/compliments about beauty 32:55 Sukhraj discusses physical beauty versus internal beauty as currency in the broader culture and also talks about praise referring to Marcus Aurelius - an emerald is an emerald even if not praised 41:45 Jennifer on how to be ugly to not attract people who are not good to have close to us 43:00 Sukhraj on beauty on dating apps 46:30 Jennifer on wanting to be beautiful once you have a partner but also admiring beautiful rhetorical, and also brings in Simon Blackburn who talks about selfies 48:05 Sharon Lebell asks a question about the good, the beautiful and the truth 51:45 Brittany asks a question about social media 55:00 Closing round.

Should we give up the dream of certainty? Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWe look for certainty to know where we are, to feel safe. Descartes founded modern Western philosophy on the search for certainty. And in our daily lives we have institutions to create the illusion of certainty, marriage in the precarious world of relationships, schools and universities in the world of knowledge. For psychologists tell us that uncertainty is one of the strongest predictors of distress. Yet certainty is also the enemy of progress and change, and as Eric Fromm argued 'The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning'. To be certain is to have ended enquiry, to have called a halt to the new and the original, to have in a sense already died.Should we recognise the pursuit of certainty in our personal lives, in our pursuit of knowledge, and in religion and philosophy is destined to fail? Should we instead welcome, even encourage, the uncertain and the unknown as a vehicle for growth and potential? Or without the safety of the known are we all lost?Distinguished philosophy professor Simon Blackburn, maverick post post-modern philosopher Hilary Lawson and ground-breaking philosopher of value Ruth Chang question whether we can be certain about anything.

While coming from a small town might appear on the surface to be advantageous, in many instances – particularly when it comes to music and choices of musicians – it is actually more of a hinderance.As with everything in life, however, it's what you make of it, as Albany, Western Australia alternate/heavy rock band Liz Dexic recently found out. Faced with the task of finding a new vocalist to front the band, Liz Dexic were forced to refine their sound when it became obvious their search for another female singer to replace the outgoing Sarah Stevenson was an uphill battle.Enter Clay Moir, formerly part of a local cover band, and Liz Dexic were back in business, albeit with a necessity to fine tune their existing material and come up with more to suit a different vocal point.The band recently released the single It's Over, Simulation, with Moir and drummer Simon Blackburn joining HEAVY to chat about recent events."Musically we're still relatively similar to how we were beforehand,” Blackburn offered, “but to a lot of people with the change in vocalists it was almost like a whole new sound. We're really excited and any of our... we've built quite a good following down in Albany and we're now at the point with this new single that we can start... in many ways it's like starting from scratch because we're having to write a lot more new originals because the vocal styles were so different. It's been great so far.""It's interesting going from a female lead singer which the band had before,” Moir added. “She had a haunting tone to add this dark, broody vibe to the music - which I guess it still kind of has - it's just a different thing with me singing now."In the full interview the boys talk more about the new single, the meaning behind the lyrics, the history of the band, changing vocalists and vocal styles and how they made it work, future music and more.

I reject these religious beliefs: I cannot trust myself, I'm broken and need to be saved, I am nothing without God, there is only one right way to live, I am responsible for saving others, your spiritual self is all that matters, and my desires are sinful. "Elizabeth Anderson, a professor of philosophy and women's studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, states that "the Bible contains both good and evil teachings", and it is "morally inconsistent".[14] Anderson criticizes commands God gave to men in the Old Testament, such as: kill adulterers, homosexuals, and "people who work on the Sabbath" (Leviticus 20:10; Leviticus 20:13; Exodus 35:2, respectively); to commit ethnic cleansing (Exodus 34:11–14, Leviticus 26:7–9); commit genocide (Numbers 21: 2–3, Numbers 21:33–35, Deuteronomy 2:26–35, and Joshua 1–12); and other mass killings.[15] Anderson considers the Bible to permit slavery, the beating of slaves, the rape of female captives in wartime, polygamy (for men), the killing of prisoners, and child sacrifice.[15] She also provides several examples to illustrate what she considers "God's moral character": "Routinely punishes people for the sins of others ... punishes all mothers by condemning them to painful childbirth", punishes four generations of descendants of those who worship other gods, kills 24,000 Israelites because some of them sinned (Numbers 25:1–9), kills 70,000 Israelites for the sin of David in 2 Samuel 24:10–15, and "sends two bears out of the woods to tear forty-two children to pieces" because they called someone names in 2 Kings 2:23–24.[16]. Simon Blackburn states that the "Bible can be read as giving us a carte blanche for harsh attitudes to children, the mentally handicapped, animals, the environment, the divorced, unbelievers, people with various sexual habits, and elderly women".[19]" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support
