Hosts Bob and Julia discuss a variety of topics with Anthony Weston, including: the most important aspects of teaching critical thinking and those most difficult for students to master; why it's important, at this time in our culture, to learn and practice critical thinking skills; the prevalence of values-based aspects in issues we encounter in our information environment; and what led to Weston's passion for and vision to develop the agrarian, intentional community, Hart’s Mill Ecovillage.

#47-Best Practices in Critical Thinking-with Guest Professor Emeritus Anthony Weston

No texto de hoje, seremos confrontamos com algumas questões que todo defensor ou estudioso do relativismo moral e cultural precisa fazer a si mesmo. Tratam-se de questões simples, que tentam nortear e clarificar uma posição complexa sobre como são gerados e mantidos os nossos valores morais em meio às diferentes culturas. Seriam esses valores necessariamente plurais em função das diferenças culturais, ou na verdade tratam-se de valores comuns que transcendem as culturas? Essa e outras questões o relativista precisa saber responder para defender sua posição com propriedade.

Relativismo: Algumas questões filosóficas, Anthony Weston | AudioTexto | Filosofia Moral

In 1950, a physicist posed the question that has come to be known as the Fermi Paradox: given the high mathematical probability that other intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, why is there no evidence that they exist? In his blazingly original paper, “Radio Astronomy as Epistemology,” our guest, philosopher Anthony Weston, formulates a solution. What we take to be the silence of the universe, he writes, may teach us more about ourselves—and the challenges of receptivity to nonhuman minds in general—than about the prevalence of other life. The reason the universe appears to offer no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, Weston suggests, may be that we are paying the wrong kind of attention. We speak with Dr. Weston about self-fulfilling prophesies, the limits of animal intelligence tests, and how to cultivate what he calls “receptive listening.”
