Edward Harcourt

Join Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst and professor of literature; Barbara Tversky, a psychological expert on memory and creativity; and Edward Harcourt, an Oxford philosopher who studies consciousness, as they delve into the labyrinth of the unconscious mind. They discuss how unconscious motivations drive compulsive behaviors, the significance of emotional wounds in therapy, and the complexities of human desires. This lively conversation challenges the listener to consider the role of the unconscious in shaping identity and personal growth.

Edward Harcourt from Keble College, Oxford and Richard Rowland from the University of Warwick discuss meta-ethics, moral claims, evolution of moral concepts, relativism in ethics, global differences in moral opinion, convergence and divergence in ethical philosophy, and understanding meta-ethics.
