2009-11-21 - Aristotle after Aristotle

Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Nov 21, 2009


Just a few centuries after their deaths, Plato was thought questionable while his pupil Aristotle was all but canonised: there was almost a fear of criticising him. Everybody used his logic and Christians were drawn to him by his arguments about a first cause of all things. This week Han Baltussen from the University of Adelaide looks at the legacy of Aristotle and at why that legacy was worth preserving.

2009-11-14 - Seneca - philosophy and tragedy

Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Nov 14, 2009


Lucius Annaeus Seneca popularised the philosophy of the Stoics, the Greek Hellenistic school. This week, Rick Benitez from the University of Sydney examines Seneca's teaching that contentedness is achieved by a simple, unperturbed life in accordance with nature and that human suffering should be accepted. He looks at Seneca as a writer of tragedies, and at the tragedy of Seneca's own life: he was tutor and later adviser to the Emperor Nero, who eventually ordered him to take his own life.

This week, Martha Nussbaum from the University of Chicago, talks about desire and Hellenistic ethics.

2009-10-31 - Human cures and animal sacrifices

Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Oct 31, 2009


This week Denise Russell from the University of Wollongong argues that animals held for experimental purposes are in the same moral condition as human beings held as slaves. Secrecy and the status of science protect these practices from critical scrutiny. So millions of animals suffer and die in Australian experiments each year, though in other countries alternative ways of seeking knowledge have been developed.
