A Philosophy Podcast and Philosophy Blog
The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode we pick a text and chat about it with insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy or even have read the text we're talking about to follow and enjoy the discussion.
Partially Ignorant Cultured Podcast & Youtube show hosted by Jabian Sutherland and Aye Chinxx. Topics and discussions range from music, social issues, celebrity gossip, politics, sexual, and dating issues. The cast of Partially Ignorant is known for honesty, humor and thought provoking conversations we all can relate to.
The data of the world around us, hosted by data science super geeks. For the nerdy and nerd curious.
Cousins Jenn and Julie live on opposite coasts and discuss anything and everything, and mostly nothing. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/partiallyrelated/support
Rich in ideas and poor in planning, this is the podcast where things could happen, or not. Whatever. Should be fun, anyways.Featuring your host, Francis Brian Shaw and a regular supply of fresh and tangy farm-raised comedians from Vancouver's bustling comedy scene.

One last take on John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689), covering Book II, ch. 21 and 28. What makes a moral claim true? Do we have free will? What makes us choose the good, or not? In this coda to our long treatment of Locke's opus, we bring together all he has to say about morality, which is strangely modern yet also just strang…

As war loomed in Europe, the poet W.H. Auden left Britain for the United States. One of the poems he wrote just before leaving is about the nature of human suffering—or as Auden puts it, the “human position” of suffering: for the most part, it happens invisibly, and the procession of ordinary life leaves it unacknowledged. Yet, the representation a…
