The Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 3 Episode 4 of 4 - Philosophy
Listen in The Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 3: 4/4 Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Alexei Sayle when they ask Is Philosophy Dead. Witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists eyes. With Brian Cox and Robin Ince.

Physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince are joined by special guests Alexei Sayle and philosopher Julian Baggini to discuss Stephen Hawking's recent comment that "philosophy is dead". Does the progress of science mean the need for disciplines such as philosophy and even religion are negated as we understand more and more about how the world works. Or are there some things, such as human consciousness, that science will never be able to fully explain.

Producer: Alexandra Feachem.

The Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 13 Episode 4 of 6 - 'What is reality?'

Listen in The Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 13: 4/6 Brian Cox and Robin Ince ask, 'What is reality?'.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by US superstar neuroscientist David Eagleman, Professor Sophie Scott and comedian Bridget Christie to ask what is reality? Is our sense of the world around us a completely personal experience and a construct of our brains? How can we ever know whether what one person perceives is exactly the same as what another person perceives. Is your sense of the world around you an illusion constructed by this extraordinary organ, the brain, that has no direct access to the outside world that it is helping you to understand.
