Description: This is episode twenty-one and a slight deviation from the usual fare! This is a recorded lecture from A.C Grayling, taken at a presentation he did in Perth earlier this year, suitable for high-school students. My final-year Philosophy and Ethics students attended this and it is thanks to Christ Church Grammar School in Perth that they were able to do so. Anthony Grayling MA, DPhil (Oxon) FRSL, FRSA is Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London, and a Supernumerary Fellow of St Anne’s College, Oxford. He has written and edited over twenty books on philosophy and other subjects; among his most recent are “Ideas That Matter”, “Liberty in the Age of Terror” and “To Set Prometheus Free”. For several years he wrote the “Last Word” column for the Guardian newspaper and now writes a column for the Times. He is a frequent contributor to the Literary Review, Observer, Independent on Sunday, Times Literary Supplement, Index on Censorship and New Statesman, and is an equally frequent broadcaster on BBC Radios 4, 3 and the World Service. He writes the Thinking Read column for the Barnes and Noble Review in New York, is the Editor of Online Review London, and a Contributing Editor of Prospect magazine. No, it’s not the usual content for the Token Skeptic podcast, but it’s a useful way of sharing this resource with other institutions, as I have classes that are studying this at the moment. Enjoy the variety! You can hear the second half in Episode #22, 'On Rights'. The Token Skeptic podcast site is at www.tokenskeptic.org. Theme songs are 'P&P' by Derek K Miller of Penmachine.com and ‘365’ by Milton Mermikides, at www.miltonmermikides.com.
