In this episode, we discuss the fifth and final section of Cusk’s Outline alongside a draft book chapter by James Lewis entitled The Peculiar Allure of Another’s Aesthetic Worldview. Lewis argues that appreciating someone’s aesthetic tastes is a central part of achieving intimacy with them. We discuss Cusk’s narrator’s prose style as a reflection of her aesthetic taste and ponder what it allows us to infer about her sense of self. 

Speaker names: 

•	Dr. Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor in the English Department at UCL.
•	Alice Harberd, PhD Student in the Philosophy Department at UCL.
•	Dr James Lewis, Lecturer in Philosophy at Cardiff University.


5. The Aesthetic Self: James Lewis

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik

It focuses specifically on one of the seemingly background characters who turns out to be very important by the end of the story, Ella Hyde Runciter, who died at just 20 years old and has been in half-life for decades.  She and other "responsible half-lifers" created Ubik in order to counteract the depredations of Jory, who consumes the life of other half-lifers, and she provides Joe Chip not only with vital information but also a guarantee of a lifetime supply of Ubik

In this profound episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Pam Taub, Professor of Medicine and Director of Preventive Cardiology at UC San Diego, for an enlightening conversation about integrating spirituality, purpose, and scientific curiosity in cardiovascular practice.

Dr Taub shares her unique philosophical foundation, shaped by exposure to diverse religions in South India. This experience fostered her belief that all faiths fundamentally center on being a good person and serving others. She explores how this spiritual perspective transforms medicine from a profession into a sacred calling, where patient interactions become profound privileges that fuel her desire to make meaningful impact beyond individual achievements.

The episode highlights Dr Taub's groundbreaking work with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), demonstrating how scientific curiosity serves as a spiritual path. Her research journey—from recognizing misdiagnosed conditions to conducting the first clinical trial for ivabradine in POTS—exemplifies how deeper questioning and evidence-based inquiry can transform patient lives on a broader scale. The episode also explores Dr Taub's research on time-restricted eating, connecting modern scientific evidence to fasting practices across many faiths.

Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode. Host: @AnkurKalraMD and produced by: @RadcliffeCardio

Episode 115: "Discipline = Sacrifice"

In this ninety-seventh episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss a number of thought-provoking questions about philosophy that Greg has been asked recently in his monthly online AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions. These include:

Would you say that there's a big advantage of studying philosophy at the university, or is it the type of subject that you can study on your own without much trouble? Thanks

What advice do you have for better relating philosophical ideas from texts to real life and applying them?

-Even if Large Language Models aren't intelligent, do you think there's still something philosophically interesting about them just because they're able to mimic language so well?

im trying to start a philosophy club at my community college. Do you have any tips or advice for running a philosophy club?

​​If you had complete control over the philosophy curriculum in the places that you teach, what change(s) (if any) would you implement?

How to get noticed by the philosophical community and work on journals and research papers without having an academic degree in philosophy. Philpapers limits audience to non academic philosophers

​​Is belief even necessary in life at all? Can I just know stuff and Trust in my logic / experiences to arrive at Truth?

A scholar I know claimed "philosophy is the study of arguments", I thought this was silly as it would exclude aphorism (eg: Nietzsche) and philosophical fiction. What do you think?

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 some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion.
