SUMMARY:How to Think like a Philosopher
DESCRIPTION:In this course\, Julian Baggini will extract the key lessons to be learned from the philosophers who have been specialists in sound thinking for millennia. In an age which fetishizes novelty and innovation\, there is a need to relearn the greatest lessons from the past and appreciate that which is timeless is always timely. In addition to the technical nuts-and-bolts of reasoning\, he will focus on the attitudes\, habits\, and character traits that make the difference between the clever and the wise. We’ll look at the many traps that await the would-be skilled reasoner and see why\, like any tool\, reasoning can be misapplied and misused\, even with the best of intentions. And we won’t shy away from the sheer difficulty of thinking well. When sugar-coating goes too far\, you end up with sickly confectionery and no nourishment. In our time-poor attention economy we are seduced by the promise of hacks\, shortcuts\, cognitive accelerators. But thinking reaches limits of efficiency very quickly and every corner cut comes at a cost. We need to hack off the hacks\, not find more of them. \n

SUMMARY:Aye Write\, Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:As politics slides toward impulsivity\, and outrage bests rationality\, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world? Julian Baggini’s How to Think Like A Philosopher is a revelatory exploration of the methods\, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy\, and how they can be applied to our own lives. \nDrawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews\, Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity\, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy’s guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments. Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers\, and an essential\, practical guide to good thinking\, How To Think Like A Philosopher shows us the way to a more humane\, balanced and rational approach to thinking\, to politics\, and to life.

SUMMARY:What Does It Mean to Be Human?

SUMMARY:The Puzzle of Personal Identity
DESCRIPTION:Day course at with the University of Oxford’s Department for Continuing Education\, with David Edmonds and me. In person or online. \nSuppose I invite you to enter a teletransporter for an exciting adventure in space travel. In this teletransporter a copy will be made of every cell in your body. Whilst your brain and body are destroyed on Earth\, a new being\, a facsimile\, will appear almost instantly on Planet Zog. No need for a tedious journey in a space craft. The recreated person on Planet Zog will look indistinguishable from you\, it will have all your memories? \nBut will it be you? \n‘Personal Identity’ is one of the most puzzling areas in philosophy. Many philosophers have grappled with it\, from John Locke in the 17th Century to Derek Parfit in the 20th. \nTo test our intuitions about personal identity\, philosophers have come up with weird and wonderful thought experiments. Locke asked us to imagine that a prince and a cobbler swapped souls\, so that the memories of the prince were in the body of the cobbler and vice-versa. Parfit asked us to imagine what would happen if a brain was split in two\, with the two hemispheres being implanted in two separate bodies. \nThere’s much at stake; the issue matters. Your position on Personal Identity may affect how you regard the past – should a person be punished for an act that was committed a decade earlier? It may affect how you view the future – should you bother to put money into a pension scheme or splurge everything so as to have fun today? How you view Personal Identity might even affect your attitude to death.

SUMMARY:How to think like a philosopher (and when not to)
DESCRIPTION:Standard accounts of philosophical reasoning focus on rules of deductive logic\, valid arguments\, fallacies and so on. Although these are all important\, in this talk Dr Julian Baggini wants to switch the focus to the attitudes and habits of thought advocated by “virtue epistemology”. \nHe will argue that the formal dimensions of reasoning are less important than the virtues of thought. Furthermore\, Julian will argue that at the ways philosophers think can sometimes lead us astray and that there are times when we should not think like philosophers at all.

SUMMARY:How To Think Like A Philosopher
DESCRIPTION:In this relaxed salon discussion\, Philosopher Julian Baggini and guests explore how the exemplary habits and principles of the best philosophers can help us to think better. They will take as their cue Baggini’s new book How to Think Like a Philosopher\, in which he offers 12 key principles for a more humane\, balanced and rational approach to thinking. \nIssues on the agenda include the importance and perils of “questioning everything”\, the necessity of taking care with language\, the requirement to think widely and with others\, and of modesty\, self-scrutiny and persistence. Find out why good thinking isn’t just a matter of logical rigour and applying critical thinking tools but requires virtues of character such as the desire for sincerity and accuracy. \n‘In an age which fetishizes novelty and innovation\, there is a need to relearn the greatest lessons from the past and appreciate that what is timeless is always timely\,’ says Baggini. \nIn the first half\, Baggini will be joined by Lisa Bortolotti and Rebecca Buxton to revisit the lessons from the past and discuss the key principles for good thinking. After a short break to grab a drink\, the audience will drive the discussion of the second half with their questions and suggestions for topics that need a dose of clarity. Learn how to think like a philosopher in live time! The event will be followed by book signing.

SUMMARY:Truth\, Trust and Character
DESCRIPTION:In today’s world truth is disputed\, denied\, hidden and distorted. The very possibility of objective truth is dismissed\, replaced with the idea that things can only be “true for you” or “true for me”. Yet people still go to court or take to streets to defend the truth. Truth still matters\, so why can’t we agree on what it is? In this event\, philosopher and author of ‘A Short History of Truth’\, Julian Baggini will be explaining why truth is so hard to pin down and easy to dispute. He will argue that what we lack is not a philosophical theory of truth but trust in the sources of truth. Can such trust be justified and what is needed to make public servants trustworthy? Baggini will be discussing these questions and more.

SUMMARY:Art and the emotions
DESCRIPTION:What is ‘euphoria’ and\, perhaps more intriguingly\, what is it for? On one account it is a sense of perfect harmony\, individuality\, and purity\, accompanied by a feeling of extreme wellbeing that connects us to the heavenly realm. On another\, it’s an exquisite dissimulation of the self. \nBut what does this really mean and how might the paintings in the National Gallery help us understand it and its relevance to our lives today? And how are artists representing euphoria in contemporary work? \nPhilosopher\, journalist and the author of over 20 books Julian Baggini is joined by Joachim Aufderheide\, Reader in Philosophy\, Kings College London; Vanessa Brassey\, co-director of the Centre for Philosophy and Art; Siobhán Jolley\, the Ahmanson Fellow in Religion and Art at the National Gallery; and artist Sikelela Owen to debate these questions.

SUMMARY:Linda Martín Alcoff: The Return of Cultural Racism
DESCRIPTION:The last event I am chairing as my tenure as The Royal Institute of Philosophy’s Academic Director comes to an end. \nCultural racism targets not people\, but peoples\, or forms of life and ways of existing. When biological racism lost credibility after WW2\, cultural racism came to the fore as an ostensibly more legitimate ground for discrimination. It is often cloaked in concepts of ‘backwardness’ or the distinction between ‘traditional’ and ‘historical’ cultures\, i.e. those that merely repeat versus those that allow innovation. This talk will explore the concept of cultural racism and argue that a renewed attention to this form\, as opposed to attitudinal racism\, will help us see how racism is working today. It will also help to show why the focus on cultural practices (i.e. the ‘culture wars’) is not peripheral but central to our political discourses.

SUMMARY:How to Think Like a Philosopher (and When Not To)
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an information-rich hour. Most introductions to philosophical reasoning take you through principles of logic\, argument and common fallacies of reasoning. This one focuses on general procedures and attitudes rather than formal rules.\nThe four basic elements of good reasoning are captured in the mnemonic AC/DC: Attend\, Clarify\, Deconstruct\, Connect. Everything we cover falls under one of these categories. You’ll see how they work in practice through examples from the great philosophers of history and our age.\nThe talk will last an hour with an optional further 30 minutes for questions and discussion.

SUMMARY:Identity Matters: The 2021 Jane Wynne Willson Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Issues of identity loom large in our world today\, as a rallying call in fights against oppression and as source of division and conflict. Why does identity matter so much and does it matter too much? In this talk\, Julian will set out some of the philosophical foundations of identity. He will explain how misunderstanding the true diverse nature of identity causes myriad problems and demonstrate how a proper understanding of identity can help us to avoid them.
