Justice, truth, and identity;  race, society, and law—these all come into dramatic play as South Africa makes the tumultuous transition to a post-apartheid democracy.  How has the new South Africa constructed its concepts of reconciliation?  How has its historical emergence meant a rethinking, reimaging, re-experiencing, relabeling, and repoliticizing of race?  John and Ken discuss reconciliation with Daniel Herwitz, a philosopher who has spent much time in South Africa.

Reconciliation

"The program that questions everything -- except your intelligence."

Philosophy on the radio? You've got to be kidding? Well, sometimes we do (kid, that is). Mostly we look at today's important ideas with an eye to thinking them through.

Philosophy Talk is a weekly, one-hour radio series. The hosts' down-to-earth and no-nonsense approach brings the richness of philosophic thought to everyday subjects. Topics are lofty (Truth, Beauty, Justice), arresting (Terrorism, Intelligent Design, Suicide), and engaging (Baseball, Love, Happiness).

This is not a lecture or a college course; it's philosophy in action!

Philosophy Talk is a fun opportunity to explore issues of importance to your audience in a thoughtful, friendly fashion, where thinking is encouraged.
