Style wars pt 2: Scandals and hoaxes 31:09

6d ago31:09

31:09

What should we think when an academic Humanities journal unsuspectingly publishes a paper that's been written as a hoax, full of fashionable jargon and deliberately specious arguments?

In the aftermath of the Second World War, France was in a state of creative ferment that affected politics, culture - and philosophy.

LIVE EVENT: What use is philosophy? 51:32

21d ago51:32

51:32

Does philosophy answer questions, or just keep asking them over and over again? Some say that compared to the sciences, philosophy has few runs on the board when it comes to measurable results.

AI, reliability and trust 33:45

1M ago33:45

33:45

AI is making all kinds of important decisions for us these days, but how far can we trust it? Or rather, what kind of trust is appropriate to bring to AI?
