A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Chew the right thing

I’m surprised I never came across this before, but philosophers David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton have a terrific series of podcasts called Philosophy Bites, which consist of relatively short interviews with philosophers on various topics of interest. The site is here; it’s also available as a free download on iTunes.

So far I’ve listened to Keith Ward on Idealism in Eastern and Western Philosophy, Peter Singer on using animals, Kate Soper on “Alternative Hedonism,” Roger Crisp on Utilitarianism, Richard Reeves on Mill’s On Liberty, and Chandran Kukathas on the liberalism of F.A. Hayek. Terrific stuff.
