Philosophy Talk
Sunday at 11 am
Known as “the program that questions everything—except your intelligence,” Philosophy Talk challenges listeners to question their assumptions and to think about things in new ways.
The show covers a wide range of topics, from timeless philosophical questions about the ultimate nature of things to contemporary social and political issues, as well as our most fundamental beliefs about science, morality, and the human condition. Each topic is approached with clarity, depth and humor — inviting listeners to join engaging conversations with scholars from all over the globe.
