During this Christmas break, ‘Talking History’ will be revisiting two of the most popular offerings of 2014.
In the first hour, Patrick will be reflecting on the discussion of artificial intelligence and its origins. This is an academic field that has been steadily growing throughout the past century. Indeed, the debate regarding the ethical issues that such developments raise is constantly evolving.
Why has there been tremendous growth in this intellectual sphere? And where does the future of artificial intelligence lie?
Listen in this Sunday evening, at 7pm, as Patrick revisits this great debate that addresses such questions and is sure to stir much discussion too.
Then, in the second hour, Patrick will be looking back at our discussion on Rene Descartes.
Rene Descartes
Descartes was a celebrated French philosopher and mathematician. He is perhaps best known for his existential proposition ‘Cogito Ergo Sum’ (‘I think, therefore I am’). It is because of philosophical thought such as this that his influence has endured.
Why is he regarded as the father of modern philosophy? And what is his legacy today?
Join Patrick this Sunday evening, at 7pm, as his panel of experts address these issues and much more besides.
