Podcasts about Thomas Reid

In this episode, Megan and Frank investigate the strange phenomenon of past life memories. Are past life memories evidence for reincarnation? Is what we remember a good guide to who we are? And how might a single identity span different lifetimes? Thinkers discussed in this episode include Plato, Pythagoras, Thomas Reid, J.M.E. McTaggart, and Michael Sudduth.-----------------------Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

We've arrived at our penultimate listener favorite from season 8. We called this one “Access: A love Story.” It was magical for Qudsiya to revisit the unforgettable day that she and her partner, also a Down to the Struts alum, Sean Collins, promised to love each other for the rest of their lives. They've been married for nearly two years now, and they've had their fair share of adventures since. But they continue to cherish those precious moments with the people they hold dearest in the world, because of the incredible work of access artist Cheryl Green and photographer extraordinaire, Jasmine Oliver, on their accessible wedding album. Qudsiya and Sean think of Cheryl and Jasmine every time they experience the symbiotic pleasure of image combined with voice. Also thanks to the audio talents of Ramya Amuthan with production and sound design support from the one and only Thomas Reid. Access truly is an act of love. And here, once again, is Qudsiya and Sean's love story. Visit our website⁠ ⁠for⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcripts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-- Subscribe to Qudsiya's Substack, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Getting Down To It⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the team behind the podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠with a donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think with a comment or review on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple podcasts.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We're continuing our treatment of Thomas Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense (1764), now discussing ch. 6: "Of Seeing." Does vision provide the exception to Reid's point that our sensations do not resemble objects in the world? Images surely seem to do so! What does this mean for Reid's epistemology?

We begin Bradley's argument for idealism: The world as we perceive it is appearance, not reality. In ch. 1, "Primary and Secondary Qualities," we see him give Locke's arguments for the distinction and Berkeley's response that both alike are in the mind, not the world. We try to make sense of this given our recent reading for The Partially Examined Life of Thomas Reid, who argued for realism against Berkeley and others. Read along with us, starting on p. 17.

On Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense (1764): the introduction, conclusion, ch. 2 "Of Smelling" ch. 4 "Of Hearing," and some correspondence between Reid and Hume. According to Reid, the big mistake of "modern" philosophy is thinking that objects in the world need to resemble the sensations we have of them. Smelling is supposed to give us an obvious counter-example: the scent of a rose in no way resembles a physical rose. Get more at partiallyexaminedlife.com.

In this episode I take a first look at Scottish Common Sense Philosophy as described by Douglas McDermid in The Rise and Fall of Scottish Common Sense Realism, with the aim of providing an overview of the major themes of Thomas Reid and his contemporaries.

Send me a text message Join me for another heart-breaking episode, where I share the real life story of 'The White Witch O'Dalry', Bessie Dunlop. Bessie Dunlop was one of the many women to be persecuted, tortured and killed for 'witchcraft'. Her crime - helping her neighbours when they or their animals were sick, and helping them find their lost possessions.With the help of what I believe was her Spirit Guide, Thomas Reid, Bessie was able to find the herbs and plants that would cure ailments, and also call-on his help to locate lost items. Bessie was a well-respected member of the community who everyone liked. Until one day, when she couldn't locate an item for a neighbour, after saying she would help them.On Sunday 26th May 2024, I shall be lighting a candle for Bessie, and all the victims of the Witch Trials.

This week I speak with Thomas Reid, sales and marketing manager for Lailey Winery. This week Lailey has had two wines in the Top Wines of Ontario count down and we will be speaking to Thomas about the 2022 Lailey Riesling and the Stonebridge 2019 Estate Chardonnay. We've got another 13 wines to go before we see who holds the #1 spot on our Rock And Grapes count down.

My first guest this week is May Pang. May spent most of 1973 and 1974 being the most important person in John Lennon's life. May and I discuss the new documentary streaming now, "The Lost Weekend: A Love Story", the story that chronicles the years she spent as John Lennon's girlfriend  - first at the insistence of Yoko Ono, but then  things got....complicated.  For any Beatles fan - this is a must-see-documentary. Over the thirty minutes we speak you will learn about May, and the incredibly interesting life she has led. This week I also speak with Thomas Reid, the Marketing and Sales Manager at Lailey Vineyards/Stonebridge. Thomas gives us an introduction to Lailey and the happenings as of late - and a look into how they approach creating premium wines in Niagara-on-the-Lake. 

The month of November marks the death of John Witherspoon, one of the most important and most underrated of the American founding fathers. Born in Scotland in 1723, Witherspoon received a Master of Arts at age 16 from the University of Edinburgh, where he would continue his studies in divinity. In 1745, he became an evangelical minister in the Church of Scotland.   Witherspoon was no fan of the monarchy and was imprisoned the following year for opposing the royalist Jacobite uprising, an experience that damaged his health for life. After his release, he returned to pastoral ministry. In 1764, the University of St. Andrews awarded Witherspoon an honorary Doctor of Divinity.  Four years later, Witherspoon accepted the presidency of the College of New Jersey, a Presbyterian college now known as Princeton University. Though the school's primary mission was to train Presbyterian ministers, Witherspoon found the school in quite a mess. The students were given poor teaching and an inadequate library. Through fundraising, reorganization, higher standards, and securing new resources–including donating hundreds of books from his personal library–Witherspoon transformed the college into a top-tier school.  In addition to providing leadership at a crucial time in the university's history, Witherspoon taught courses in rhetoric, history, divinity, and moral philosophy, a required course at the college. His ideas were anchored in his Reformed faith and the natural law tradition. He was also heavily influenced by Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid's Common Sense Realism. These ideas took deep root in Princeton and across American society generally. Witherspoon's teaching laid essential groundwork for both the American Revolution and the government that followed.  Leaning heavily on the Calvinistic tradition, Witherspoon promoted the rights of people to challenge governmental overreach, even by force of arms if necessary. Unsurprisingly, he strongly supported the American Revolution, especially concerned by a growing centralization of government and the Crown taking over responsibilities that were historically the prerogatives of the colonies. The final straw for Witherspoon was when bishops were appointed from England to oversee religious life in the colonies.   Like his Presbyterian forebearers in Scotland, Witherspoon saw these violations as justification for revolt. He served in the Continental Congress from 1777 to 1784, taking on a prodigious amount of work and serving on over 100 committees. After the war, he helped draft the Articles of Confederation and later shepherded the Constitution through the New Jersey state legislature.  Even with that impressive resume, Witherspoon's most important impact came from the students who took his moral philosophy classes at the College of New Jersey. Witherspoon taught James Madison the necessity of checks and balances in government. Among his other students were Aaron Burr, 37 judges, including several members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and three justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 10 cabinet officers, 12 members of the Continental Congress, 28 U.S. Senators, and 49 U.S. Congressmen. Witherspoon was arguably the single most influential founder who shaped the early years of the Republic.  Despite all this, Witherspoon is mostly remembered today for owning two slaves. Like many of the founders, Witherspoon's attitudes toward slavery were complex and often contradictory, a fact that explains but does not excuse his stance. Witherspoon taught that slaves and employees should be treated with dignity and respect. He even spoke out against the institution of slavery at the college. However, he also opposed a measure by the state legislature that would have banned slavery in New Jersey. Like many others, Witherspoon believed slavery would die out within a generation, and thought the legislation was unnecessary and could interfere with the process he believed was inevitable.  Though there were a few consistent abolitionists among the founders, Witherspoon was among the many elites in the eighteenth century who owned slaves as domestic servants or to work land.   Witherspoon failed to extend his convictions about liberty for all to the slaves in his midst. That moral tragedy should not fully blot out the honor owed to him for his incredible contributions to the founding of the United States and the securing of the freedoms we enjoy.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine. For more resources to live like a Christian in this cultural moment, go to breakpoint.org. 

Today's episode gives attention to Fredrick Douglass' speech given in 1852, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?  When he was summoned to deliver such a speech in front of a crowd of White Abolitionists on July 5, 1852, three million enslaved Africans were being denied their freedom.  The Founding Fathers' grievances against King George III were articulated in their understanding in the Age of Reason of the  Enlightenment in America. Learned individuals such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams were men who read Isaac Newton, John Locke, or Thomas Reid appealed to the innate capacity for reason of the common man. These men question hierarchies based on gender, race, and class. They hoped that natural philosophy might provide a way to transcend the differences that arose within America's exceptionalism. Leaders such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin translated Enlightenment ideals of liberty, rights, and self-government into the underlying premises of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.   ► Subscribe Here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@unlockingourvoices832⁠

In This Episode Qudsiya Naqui Bio Diana interviews Qudsiya Naqui, lawyer, disability justice activist, and podcast host of Down to the Struts. In this episode, Qudsiya shares about her journey to embracing her blind identity, her disability identity, and the disability community that brought her into the fold. She speaks to the isolation felt when in her younger years, she was excluded from participation in school activities simply because people did see her need for access, nor her right to access. Finally, Qudsiya shares about many great leaders and authors who have provided a sense of community, support, and mentorship in her podcast, as well as in her personal growth and enrichment.

They have a far-ranging conversation about why it's so important to diversify the voices out there in media—as hosts and guests and content creators of all kinds—and how the Pod Access Initiative is working to remove barriers to entry for people with disabilities in media, while taking on limiting beliefs around whose voices “deserve” to be driving the conversation when it comes to podcasts and more.

It's another conversation on audio description, with two unique perspectives. First up, Steven and Shaun talk about audio description on advertising following a comment by one of our listeners. How prevalent is audio description on advertising worldwide, and what does it mean for ads to have AD added to them? Also, the guys talk to blind narrator and voice-over artist Thomas Reid, who has created memorable audio descriptions for some of the biggest hits on Netflix. Thomas talks about his career and how he got started after losing his vision early on in his life. As always, your feedback is welcome.

Producer and host of Reid My Mind Radio, Thomas Reid, stops by to share his journey that started as an infant with a rare form of cancer, retinoblastoma, that eventually took both of his eyes and how life began anew in 2004. Thomas explains what he does to make blindness sound funky and shares some girl dad advise with John. As a pioneer in the new ear of audio description, Thomas talks about the art and creative side of AD and opines on the importance of including the blind and visually impaired community in the process.

On today's ID the Future Lehigh University biologist Michael Behe addresses what Philosophy for the People host Pat Flynn considers some of the best objections to Behe's central intelligent design argument. As far back as the 1996 book Darwin's Black Box, Behe has argued that certain features in biology are irreducibly complex. That is, they require numerous essential parts, each carefully fitted to its task and integrated with the other parts, in order for the molecular machine or system to function at all. Two examples are the bacterial flagellum motor and the blood clotting cascade. Such systems are, in Behe's words, irreducibly complex and could not have arisen through any blind and gradual evolution process. The better explanation for their Read More › Source

Orsak och verkan är ett grundläggande begreppspar i vår förståelse av världen, men det betyder inte att de har en plats i verkligheten. Helena Granström funderar på hur vi ska se på det. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Orsak och verkan: Någonting sker, och ger upphov till någonting annat. Det är svårt att föreställa sig den mänskliga tanken utan tillgång till denna helt centrala figur. Som filosofen Immanuel Kant en gång insåg, efter att enligt egen utsago ha väckts ur dogmatisk slummer av kollegan David Hume, är föreställningen om kausalsamband att det ena leder till det andra inte i första hand grundad i erfarenhet. Nej, istället är den en förutsättning för erfarenheten som sådan, ett grundläggande drag i mänsklig varseblivning: Först utifrån antagandet att varje verkan har en orsak kan världen framträda och bli begriplig för oss. Och det är lätt att låta sig övertygas om att den nyvakne Kant hade rätt: Idén om orsakssamband spelar onekligen en avgörande roll för hur människan sorterar sina intryck. Kausaliteten tycks med andra ord ganska så tveklöst existera i tanken men var finner vi den i världen? Också om detta har filosofer förstås tvistat, och fortsätter att tvista. Det kanske enda de verkligen är överens om är tvistefrågans tyngd. Platon låter i sin dialog Sofisten en av de talande likställa förmågan att påverka kausalt, med att överhuvudtaget finnas till: Allt som besitter förmågan att antingen orsaka förändring hos någonting annat, eller att påverkas av någon utifrån kommande orsak, måste sägas äga verklig existens. Huruvida denna förmåga att påverka och att påverkas är inneboende hos tingen i sig att stenen faller till marken på grund av sin karaktäristiska tendens att befinna sig lågt eller inte, är en annan fråga. Den idag dominerande uppfattningen, som fann sitt kanske kraftfullaste uttryck genom Isaac Newton och hans rörelseekvationer, är att inga inre krafter hos föremålen behövs allt som krävs är verkan av eviga och allmängiltiga naturlagar som styr förändring och interaktion mellan tingen i världen. Men frågan är om detta verkligen är nog? Till och med Newton själv konstaterade att han med sina lagar hade funnit en beskrivning av gravitationen förklarat himlens och havens fenomen genom gravitationskraften men därmed inte funnit gravitationens orsak. Mot 1700-talets slut utvecklar filosofen Thomas Reid denna distinktion: Naturlagarna styr på vilket sätt orsak kan leda till verkan, men utgör inte orsaker i sig. De är helt enkelt bara regler, och som Reid påpekar har navigationens regler aldrig styrt ett skepp och arkitekturens regler aldrig byggt ett hus. Med tanke på naturlagarnas centrala position inom fysiken, leds man till att fråga sig om orsak och verkan alls har någon plats inom denna den mest grundläggande beskrivning av världen vi känner till?   Ett minst sagt rungande nej på den frågan står ett drygt sekel senare att finna hos filosofen Bertrand Russell, som i essän On the Notion of Cause från 1912 inte skräder orden: Begreppet orsak väcker, skriver han, så många felaktiga associationer att dess fullständiga uteslutning ur den filosofiska vokabulären vore önskvärd. I synnerhet är det vi vanligtvis förstår som lagen om orsak och verkan helt främmande för fysiken. I dess modell av verkligheten hittar vi ingenting alls som kan kallas för orsak eller verkan: Allt som finns är formler. Ett annat skäl till att kausaliteten inte hör hemma inom vetenskapen är att den för att vara meningsfull med nödvändighet är vag: dess grund, nämligen att samma orsak leder till samma verkan, blir meningslös så snart vetenskapen avancerar bortom en naiv observation av naturfenomenen. Varje vetenskapligt framsteg, skriver Russell, tar oss längre och längre bort från de grova regelbundenheter som kan iakttas vid ett första påseende, och till sist så långt att föreställningen om två identiska orsaker till exempel två slag med en hammare helt förlorar sin mening. Varje skeende är, när det beskrivs med tillräcklig noggrannhet, unikt, och en händelses orsaker är egentligen aldrig begränsade till den direkta omgivningen, utan inbegriper i sista instans tillståndet hos hela universum. Att kausaliteten intar en central position i människans tänkande innebär i alla fall om man ska tro Russell alltså inte att den intar en särskilt central position i den yttre verkligheten, om den nu överhuvudtaget står att finna där. Å andra sidan tycks det vetenskapliga projektet att utvinna kunskap om denna verklighet mer eller mindre dömt att misslyckas utan just en övertygelse om giltigheten hos lagen om orsak och verkan: Säg det experiment som alls skulle ha någon mening utan tilltro till det faktum att en viss handling kommer att leda till en specifik och förutsägbar effekt. Ändå utgör just den där förutsägbarheten den tvingande nödvändighet med vilken en given orsak leder till en given verkan ytterligare ett argument för kausalitetens uteslutning ur den filosofiska och vetenskapliga sfären. Våra mest fundamentala teorier har nämligen visat sig vara i grunden icke-deterministiska, så att verkan faktiskt inte alls följer på orsak på något entydigt sätt. På senare år har laboratorieexperiment dessutom gjort bruk av kvantmekaniska effekter för att få kausaliteten som vi normalt förstår den att framstå som ett förlegat koncept. Genom att utnyttja så kallad kvantmekanisk sammanflätning är det möjligt att arrangera situationer där fallet att händelse A orsakar händelse B är på ett fundamentalt sätt omöjligt att särskilja från sin motsats, att händelse B orsakar händelse A. I andra experiment har man kunnat skapa kausala effekter som sträcker sig bakåt istället för framåt i tiden, så att verkan tycks föregå det som orsakat den. Albert Einsteins märkvärdiga relativitetsteori, där rummet och tiden visserligen kan böjas och tänjas, men där ingen tvetydighet någonsin finns mellan orsak och verkan, framstår härvidlag som en västanfläkt. Att olika observatörer kan ha skilda uppfattningar om såväl föremåls längd som klockors tidsangivelser och till och med om vad som är framtid och vad som är förflutet är faktiskt lätt att acceptera jämfört med tanken på att de hamnar i bråk om huruvida det var hammaren som hade sönder det trasiga fönstret, eller tvärtom glasets splittring som fick hammarhanden att måtta sitt slag. Men kanske kan, tänker jag, denna förvirring ändå utgöra en sorts lättnad, när jag fångad i min tankes grundlösa tro på den järnfasta länken mellan orsak och verkan grämer mig över konsekvenserna av mina egna beslut. Jag kan då alltid trösta mig med att jag aldrig kan vara säker på vad som egentligen ska räknas som en orsak, om orsaken ens är möjlig att avgränsa på ett meningsfullt sätt eller för den delen huruvida denna orsak, om den nu finns, inte redan var nödvändigt och fullständigt bestämd som en effekt av något annat. Denna upplösning av grunden för såväl den rationella tanken som den fria viljan kan faktiskt om så bara för ett ögonblick utgöra en form av frihet också den.Helena Granström, författare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematikLitteraturB.

It's been a few months since our last purely Mixed Bag Monday episode of Outlook, but we're back, in the middle of August, as summer begins to wind down with a mixture of topics we're discussing. Kerry's been writing and taking classes in writing and the natural world and then reading her words, in community with others. Brian's been having a rather creatively productive month, practicing with other likeminded musical friends he's known and performed with for years. Sometimes, it's nice to work on our creative interests, outlets in a tough world where there's always something serious happening in the news and around the world, and art helps us be able to let loose a little. Whether it's the stress on the healthcare system in this province and across the nation, abortion rights for women and other pregnant people being at risk and how this issue in the States finally gets us to study up about the issue in our own country, or August 15th being exactly one year since western countries pulled out of Afghanistan which leaves Afghan people and especially women behind to face oppression and other dangers, human rights of all kinds are threatened and this impacts everyone around the world. It's important we talk about all this on our show, hosted by two disabled siblings in Ontario, Canada. From saying farewell to a friend or opening beans when you meant to open lentils, it's truly a mixed bag of topics. We are spending the week with family, celebrating our nephews and their birthdays in August, and talking Blue Jays baseball, a super summery subject. And last but certainly not least, to round off the show this week, we're sharing promotional material sent to us by Cheryl Green, on behalf of Green and project partner Thomas Reid on the survey they're launching. With support from the Disability Visibility Project, they're putting out a survey collecting information from Deaf and disabled podcasters and consumers of podcasts on building a network or community of Deaf and disabled content creators and consumers of said content. We'll let them explain all this further, but we then go on to discuss an article Reid wrote for DVP on the discussion around whether giving an image description of oneself is necessary, in meetings and in workshops for example, and if there's equity or discrimination in the practice or in the resistance to it since the pandemic and Zoom made us all faces, in little boxes, on a screen.

Hi, Y'all! My friends, Cheryl and Thomas (who are superb podcasters BTW), are taking over the Think Inclusive feed for a few minutes today to tell you about a special survey project they are doing. With support from the Disability Visibility Project, Cheryl Green and Thomas Reid are gathering information about disabled podcasters and podcasts focused on disability and accessibility (or “disability podcasts” for short). They will use this information to develop an online listing of podcasts and resource for disabled podcasters to find each other and find audiences. Awesome right? Here is the link if you are interested in taking the survey. Here is a transcript of the promo from Cheryl and Thomas. Thanks for listening, and we will catch you next week in the feed with another episode of Think Inclusive. - Tim

Mostly recorded on Thursday June 30th 2022 Rick is upset because he messed up a recording for an intro to a promo from Cheryl Green and Thomas Reid that he planed on sharing on this feed, stay tuned till the end to hear the into. While trying to reduce the intro, this turned into a full episode.

In this episode of White Canes Connect, we talk with Thomas Reid from Reid My Mind Radio. We talk about descriptive audio and the importance of the voice being culturally appropriate to the production being described. Thomas also discusses ways for blind and visually impaired people to get started in voice-over work.

The emergence of a Scottish 'school' of common sense philosophy has not yet been given the historical attention it deserves, despite the fact  that the rise of common sense philosophy was one of the most important intellectual developments in the Atlantic world during the second half of the 18th century. In this lecture, Professor Paul Wood examines the responses of common sense philosophers such as James Beattie, James Oswald and Thomas Reid to David Hume's perceived scepticism and irreligion as well as Hume's subsequent reply to his critics. The lecture concludes with an account of the precipitous decline of the Scottish 'School' of common sense.
