    This episode is a tribute to the whole journey of three seasons and a sign of gratitude to philosophy and of course all my patient and consistent listeners! It's also very personal as I have recited one of my pieces, and the only piece very inspired by philosophy! Hope you like it, art it is

    S3 E5 Hope pulls you back.
    Mar 20 2022
    This episode is a revamp version of S1 E5 'To Hope is to Dare'. Since then, my perspective has changed and hence this. I am literally bringing to you my weirdest philosophical thoughts, and this one is surely a risky domain to experiment with! But we can always try, so here it is, the hope-belief dichotomy!

  • S3 E1 The Atheism Test!

    S3 E1 The Atheism Test!
    Feb 19 2022
    Can you rationalize your faith? Kirkegaard says no! But do we not critically analyze our religions, especially in the times of globalization when we have better knowledge of the dynamics of oppression. Is it correct to play the faith card as a response then? Season 3 is all about contemplations like these, at the end of every episode, I will leave you with questions like these. Happy listening! The Atheism Test and the beginning and end are an analogy to the Machine test, The Imitation Game (Have you seen a more crazy fan?). And here are the references if any of you wish to chack out: Descartes, R. Discourse on Method, London: Penguin, 1968.

    S2 E7 Are women really weak?
    Jul 17 2021
    When patriarchy exists everywhere, when our society is constructed on patriarchy, and in the favour of men, how can we expect science to not get infected by it. Here is a view of bodies, in the words of Nelly Oudshoorn, a feminist biologist. Biological determinism and its biased reality. If you want to know more, read 'Beyond the Natural Body'.
