But why, when humanity faces such great societal flux, should audiences take the time to get to grips with tomes written centuries ago? Professor Grayling’s recent publication, The History of Philosophy, explains and explores thoughts, from classical antiquity to the present. In this talk he expounds upon the reasons why philosophy has never been so relevant; not solely as means of human consolation at a time when humans most need consolation but as a driver for societal reinvention.
For Professor Grayling, the relevance of philosophy is unquestionable, and the history of philosophy illustrates with great clarity why philosophy is not only a highly consequential enterprise: it is indeed the source of all human progress.
Prof. Grayling will be familiar to listeners of Radio 4 and the World Service, and is also the founder of the New College of the Humanities.
This talk is one of many philosophy lectures being transmitted by Bath Royal and others in the series include five talks on the subject of Being and Becoming developed by Bath Royal’s resident philosopher Andreas Wasmuht alongside talks by well-known philosophers Raymond Tallis and Simon Blackburn; still available to view here on the Virtual Bath Royal CZcams channel (click on the 'Playlists' tab and look for 'Philosophy').

Fantastic. Thanks for uploading.
Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, & Russell are all great philosophers :)
What are the methods or kinds of inquiry which will lead us humans to a knowledge of truth and which ones are dead ends (mere opinions of belief without substantial evidence that those beliefs are true) in the theory of knowledge? (See Plato, Theaetetus).
Have Thou not rationally inquired into the nature of a theory of an ethical metaphysical good or the the history of inquiry concerning the nature of reality (outside of religious myths and traditions)?
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for subscribing.
That lady who jumped into the Q&A time of a one-hour lecture to give her own one-hour lecture! 😂
As erudite in his survey of the subject and as perceptive in his insights into some of the pressing concerns of humanity today as he is, Prof Grayling's account of the universe is does not add up. The account that it is a result of a series of chemical and physical accidents. It divests and denudes metaphysics of teleology. He will do well to ponder the question afresh. That question being the holy grail of philosophy.
