Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself - questions about man’s place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous.

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and best-selling author. He made major contributions to the study of media theory. McLuhan is well-known for his expression "the medium is the message", from his 1964 book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. He also popularized the term "global village", and he predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented. This recording is from one of his lectures.

Notions of Progress is a podcast that takes those questions seriously, tracing how the idea of progress has been understood, contested, and ...

In any discussion of religion, clarity is key. When freethinkers challenge religious dogmas with any hint of hesitation, orthodox believers mistakenly interpret it as reluctance to dismantle the very crutches that uphold their faith. Yet, these religious beliefs are obstacles that impede humanitys progress. In todays world, no theological framework can address the complexities of human happiness and advancement as effectively as the principles of freethought can—without the burden of outdated encumbrances. (Summary from the preface)

In the following keynote seminar, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan—whose concept of "The Medium Is The Message" from his seminal book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, which proposed that the media, not the content that they carry, affects the society in which it plays a role—as well as, the evolution of media over the past half-century.

In this lively and wide-ranging meditation on the curious accidents and unexpected detours on the path of life, Daniel Milo argues that we ask these questions because we’ve embraced a faulty conception of how evolution - and human society - really works.

In 1775 the American colonies were a hotbed of political discord. Many of the British policies, specifically taxes, had caused American colonial leaders to consider the unthinkable: declaring independence from the British Empire and its King George.
