Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen

Geld, hebzucht, verliesangst, expansiedrang en gemakzucht – het is een giftige cocktail die onze samenleving in zijn macht houdt. Kan het ook anders? En kan een eeuwenoud bijbelverhaal daarbij tot voorbeeld zijn? Jozef en zijn broers gaat over een verwende jongen die door zijn broers verkocht wordt als slaaf. Kom luisteren naar theoloog Alain Verheij en econoom Eefje de Gelder die in dit verhaal parallellen zien met onze eigen omgang met geld en vrijheid. 22|11|14 Jozef en zijn broers: je geld of je vrijheid | Lezingen door theoloog Alain Verheij en econoom Eefje de Gelder | Maandag 14 november 2022 | 20.00 - 21.30 uur |LUX, Nijmegen Read the review: https://www.ru.nl/radboudreflects/terugblik/terugblik-2022/terugblik-2022/22-11-14-jozef-broers-geld-vrijheid-lezingen/ Or watch the video: https://youtu.be/SeK6gnnYTQA Never want to miss a podcast again?

Violence and religion are often mentioned in the same breath. In fact, the idea that religion has a tendency to promote violence is part of the conventional wisdom of Western societies. According to theologian William Cavanaugh, this ‘wisdom’ is actually a myth. And a dangerous one at that, because it helps to construct and marginalize a religious Other as fundamentally different from ourselves. Come and learn from William Cavanaugh about the myth of religious violence. 22|11|17 The Myth of Religious Violence | Lecture and conversation with theologian William Cavanaugh | Thursday, 17 November 2022 | 20.00-21.30 hrs | Academiezaal, Aula, Radboud University | Radboud Reflects, deZinnen and Studium Generale Tilburg Read the review: https://www.ru.nl/radboudreflects/terugblik/terugblik-2022/terugblik-2022/22-11-17-the-myth-religious-violence-lecture-and/ Or watch the video: https://youtu.be/j25qqee61KE Never want to miss a podcast again?

Cows dying in a barn fire, chimpanzees struggling to survive in a shrinking jungle, and whales stranding with kilos of plastic in their stomachs. Animals are in trouble all over the world. And we, humans, are causing their suffering. Our species dominates the lives of other animals everywhere on the planet. According to world renowned philosopher Martha Nussbaum, animals should be able to live a flourishing, natural life. And as the earth’s dominating inhabitants, we have a responsibility to secure this freedom of other species. Come and learn from Spinozalens laureate 2022, who will plead – via Zoom – how we can treat both domestic as well as wild animals ethically.

Winter time is fast approaching. Time to get back into the discussion about whether or not to set the clock back. Would it be better and healthier for us to follow our own biorhythm, or is following the clock’s rhythm ultimately more beneficial to us? Where does the idea that we have to conform to the rhythm of the clock come from anyway? Come and delve into the conflict between our biorhythms and the rhythm of the clock with science historian Christoph Lüthy and neuroscientist Lisa Genzel.

De boodschappen, de energierekening en de huur: alles wordt duurder. En dat sneller dan ooit. De huidige inflatiecijfers breken de records uit de jaren zeventig.

Iemand die met manipulatie, bedrog en slinkse plannen de eigen machtspositie verstrekt, noemen we ‘Machiavelliaans’. Maar hoe terecht is het dat we het gedachtegoed van de filosoof Machiavelli vooral hiermee associëren? Machiavelli heeft ook een andere kant, betoogt de Vlaamse filosoof Tinneke Beeckman. Een kant die getuigt van een aanstekelijk lef om ideeën te lanceren én om te handelen. Wat kunnen we leren van Machiavelli’s ideeën over vrijheid, macht en deugd? Luister naar filosoof Tinneke Beeckman, en bekijk ’s werelds meest geslepen politiek theoreticus met een nieuwe blik. Macht, moed en Machiavelli | Lezing en gesprek met filosoof Tinneke Beeckman en politicoloog Marcel Wissenburg Dinsdag 25 oktober 2022 | 20.00 - 21.30 uur |Theaterzaal C, Radboud Universiteit Radboud Reflects en Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen Lees het verslag: https://www.ru.nl/radboudreflects/terugblik/terugblik-2022/terugblik-2022/22-10-25-macht-moed-machiavelli-lezing-gesprek/ Of bekijk de video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TgOPH6JLEU Like deze podcast, abonneer je op dit kanaal en mis niks.
