Conversations About Philosophy, Volume 2, includes the following 5 in-depth Ideas Roadshow Conversations featuring leading researchers. This collection includes a detailed preface highlighting the connections between the different books. Each book is broken into chapters with a detailed introduction and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: 1.The Social World, Reexamined - A Conversation with Brian Epstein, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University. Brian Epsteins career as a management consultant piqued his interest and his later research into the reasons why our current models of economics, politics and other areas of social science so often go terribly wrong. The conversation explores how we can dramatically improve our current economic and political models by reexamining our assumptions about the nature of the social world.2. Kant, Applied is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Onora ONeill, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge and a crossbench member of the House of Lords. After intriguing insights into Onora ONeills path to becoming a Kant scholar, this conversation explores how Kants philosophy is relevant for many thorny issues in our contemporary social world, from human rights to patient consent to corporate transparency and more.3. Exploring Spinoza - A Conversation with Susan James, Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck, University of London. Susan James is an internationally-renowned Spinoza scholar and author of several books on Spinoza which are discussed in detail during this conversation. Susan James provides detailed insights into Spinozas ideas and their current relevance; the political environment and the theological struggle about who has control of religion and how much freedom of religion there was during Spinozas time. 4.
