Telephilosophy

I wrote about television waybackwhen, and tried to read philosophy even earlier.  Considering vision and philosophy translate similarly in Bangla, it’s only natural that I would pick up Everything I Know I Learned from TV: philosophy for the unrepentant couch potato at first sight.  And I read it in on weekend nearly a decade ago.

Anyone who likes to watch TV and read books should get this little gem.  Let me just note the shows and ideas covered.

Once were philosophers

While digging up the India talk, I came across my notes for a study circle I was part of.  It was post-9/11 era, and some of my brothers and sisters from the university days decided to hold sessions to learn more about our shared history.  My session was on the pre-enlightenment western philosophy.  Over the fold are my notes based on Russell.
