    Debates Intelectualmente exquisitos. Tenía tiempo que no escuchaba ideas y argumentos tan complejos tratados desde puntos de vista tan diversos.

  • Citizens of Nowhere?

    Theese debates are usually resonably interesting but this episode sounds more like a propaganda piece, with a biased conclusion. I wonder if the Tory party bankrolled it.

  • Unsatisfying

    Yes, these are excellent, sophisitcated, philisophically based debates but ultimately unsatisfying because in every debate there are no answers or conclusions of any kind, only a summary of two sides rambling on. When Philosophy offers just more questions and no solutions I find it frustrating and useless. As much as I disagree, when listening to this podcast, I sympathise with people who say Philosophy should be confined to the academic world and has no place in every day life.
