  • Thought-provoking discussions and lectures.

    英語の勉強になります。そして、参加者の皆さんが興味深い意見を出して、その意見を巧くまとめて導いているサンデル教授の尽力もあり、知的な刺激を得ることが出来ます。

    (以下は、ポッドキャストの内容に関わりありません)

    以前のコメントで、日本人が英語で答えてないことに不満を持っている人がいますが、それは英語中心主義に冒されすぎではないですか。ある特定の言語(英語)を話せなくても、論理的な思考レベルに問題があることにはなりません。むしろ英語絶対主義に冒されている自分を恥じるべきだと思います。

  • Espectacular

    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.
