Halloween BONUS EPISODE | The philosophy of monsters, magic, and mausoleums
Manage episode 447991712 series 1259856
Why do audiences across the world love to be scared at the cinema? Why do we have such strong attachments to those who have left this Earth? What can horror tell us about ourselves?
Join the team at the IAI for a reading of three Halloween-themed articles, written by historian Thomas Laqueur, and philosophers Noël Carroll and David Livingstone Smith. From the importance of funeral practices to the true meaning of vampires and werewolves, this episode is a spooky journey through all things macabre.
David Livingstone Smith is professor of philosophy at the University of New England. His research interests include self-deception, dehumanization, human nature, ideology, race and moral psychology. Noël Carroll is an American philosopher considered to be one of the leading figures in contemporary philosophy of art. Although Carroll is best known for his work in the philosophy of film, he has also published journalism, works on philosophy of art generally, theory of media, and also philosophy of history. Thomas Laqueur is an American historian, sexologist and writer. He is the author of 'Solitary Sex: A Cultural History of Masturbation' and 'Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud' as well as many articles and reviews.
