Sanderson is an American sociologist. He was a professor of sociology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Since 2007 he has been a visiting scholar at the Institute for Research on World-Systems at the University of California, Riverside. His areas of focus include comparative sociology, historical sociology, sociological theory and sociocultural evolution. He is a specialist in sociological theory and comparative and historical sociology and is one of the leading sociologists to develop a Darwinian understanding of human society. He has written or edited ten books, including “The Evolution of Human Sociality: A Darwinian Conflict Perspective”, “Evolutionism and Its Critics”, “Human Nature and the Evolution of Society”, and “Religious Evolution and the Axial Age”. In this episode, we cover a lot of ground in Sociology and the Social Sciences. We start by talking about traditional approaches to sociology, the limitations of sociocultural accounts of human behavior, the importance of fields like sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, and the criteria to determine that a behavioral trait has a biological basis. We also discuss how to think about culture, and the relationship between culture and biology, and then Dr. Sanderson gives an overview of his Darwinian conflict theory, that tries to integrate evolutionary theory with Weberian conflict theory (with bits of Marx in there). Finally, we talk about Dr. Sanderson’s work on religion, and three different types of religion – shamanic, polytheistic (pagan), and monotheistic (world transcendent). -- Follow Dr. Sanderson’s work: Personal website: https://bit.ly/2H0NLie Some articles on Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2vI0NvN Amazon page: https://amzn.to/2VTsQXI    Relevant books/articles: Human Nature and the Evolution of Society: https://amzn.to/2DQtXNK Religious Evolution and the Axial Age: https://amzn.to/2UD7NFh -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, AND HERBERT GINTIS!

In this episode, we talk about morality in its several dimensions (philosophical, cultural, evolutionary, psychological, anthropological). We also talk about Dr. Shweder’s three moral foundations (Autonomy, Community, Divinity), and how Jonathan Haidt contributed to their expansion. We also discuss Alan Fiske’s Relational Models, and what they are about. I ask Dr. Shweder to explain what is Cultural Psychology, and its objects of study in human societies. And we finish off by referring to multiculturalism, in what ways it might be problematic, and how to possibly tackle those issues.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF RECORDING ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. Dr. Frederick Crews is an American essayist and literary critic, and Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley. Also, a prominent participant in the "Freud wars" of the 1980s and 1990s, a debate over the reputation, scholarship and impact on the 20th century of the founder of psychoanalysis, Freud. He’s the author of many books, including the ones that are relevant to our conversation today, The Memory Wars: Freud’s Legacy in Dispute, and Freud: The Making of an Illusion. In this episode, we talk about how and why Dr. Crews decided to turn against Freud’s psychological theories, and his role against the Recovered Memory Therapy movement in the 80’s and 90’s, and the idea of repressed memories. We then move on to talk about Freud’s personality, and what led them to adopt a pseudoscientific academic approach. We cover some of his medical work and his main theories, like hysteria, the Oedipus Complex, dream analysis, and his organization of the unconscious. Finally, we discuss psychoanalysis in general, and if it today something resembling a science at least.  Time Links: 00:58 When Dr. Crews turned against Freud 02:50 The Recovered Memory Therapy movement           05:56 Freud’s personality        12:55 Freud’s theoretical approach      14:34 Freud’s work on cocaine      20:56 The origins of hysteria  25:05 Hysteria and the Oedipus Complex 30:10 About dream analysis 36:07 Did Freud really discover the unconscious?  39:39 Deleterious effects of Freud’s practice on his patients 44:05 Is psychoanalysis scientific nowadays? 49:56 Why are Freud’s theories so intellectually appealing? 52:39 Follow Dr. Crews’ work   -- Follow Dr. Crews’ work: Books: https://tinyurl.com/ybyhfbjh Freud: The Making of an Illusion: https://tinyurl.com/y9dwsbuw -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, JUNOS, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, AND HANS FREDRIK SUNDE!

Neste episódio, abordamos vários tópicos das áreas da biossociologia (ou sociobiologia) e da psicologia evolutiva. Falamos da dificuldade das pessoas em lidarem com a ideia de que a nossa mente e o nosso comportamento também são resultado da evolução, e de limitações de abordagens socioculturais. Ao longo da conversa, vamos referindo vários aspetos que explicam o desenvolvimento das culturas humanas, e também a questão da bioliderança e de como os homens usualmente ocupam lugares de liderança, mas podemos melhorar esse cenário com recurso a conhecimento proveniente da teoria evolutiva. -- Sigam o trabalho do Dr. Finuras: Página da Universidade Lusófona: https://bit.ly/2vFHyD1 Livros e biografia na Wook: https://bit.ly/2HedYdt Página na Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2Wqrn8B Livros e artigos mais relevantes: Bioliderança: https://bit.ly/2CUNQTt Primatas Culturais: https://bit.ly/2U1TtEW Why are there so many different languages in the world?

She is an evolutionary psychologist/anthropologist who specializes in symbolic and aesthetic behavior, with an emphasis on storytelling, art, and play. Her work investigates the origins of these behaviors—specifically, the selection pressures that led to their emergence, the role they played in ancestral human societies, and the design features of the mind that make them possible. She publishes in both scientific and humanities journals, and blogs for the Huffington Post, where she explores modern issues, trends, and behaviors in light of human evolutionary history. In this episode, we talk about storytelling and folklore from an evolutionary perspective. We start off by talking about the social role and the evolutionary bases of storytelling. We then look into some of the similarities in themes and characters across cultures. We discuss if storytelling might play a role in the development of theory of mind in children. We also talk about the role of play in children’s development. And we end up talking about some of the similarities between oral storytelling and fictional literature, and the fact that storytelling still plays a big role in modern societies.

He specializes in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He is known in particular for his book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues in favor of veganism, and his essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", in which he argues in favor of donating to help the global poor.

His writings have appeared in more than 25 languages. In this episode, we first get into how we morality can be objective, and issues regarding our evolved morality and its conflicting features, the limitations of reason, and if it is possible to derive moral values from science. We talk about how personality might influence the philosophies that people develop, and if it would be acceptable to nudge people’s behavior through environmental tweaks. We then discuss effective altruism and its several flavors, and if we should eliminate all suffering. In the latter part of the interview, we talk about some specific subjects, like veganism, human enhancement, and euthanasia. Toward the end, we also discuss moral foundations theory, and if it should influence the way people do moral philosophy. -- Follow Dr. Singer’s work: Website: https://bit.ly/2CxGqpS Faculty page (Princeton): https://bit.ly/2Jh9fdA Faculty page (Melbourne): https://bit.ly/2XttGv3 Books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Llq3CL Twitter handle: @PeterSinger -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, AND RICARDO VLADIMIRO!

She is a frequent guest on CBC and Radio Canada. The focus of her research is on issues of women's health and assisted reproductive technologies, but her research and publication record also extend to such topics as research involving humans (including human embryo research), gene editing, novel genetic technologies, public health, the role of bioethics consultants, and neuroethics. She has a forthcoming book on ethics and heritable genome editing with Harvard University Press. In this episode, we talk about the ethics behind CRISPR-cas9 genome editing technology. The difference between using it in somatic cells versus germline cells; he fuzzy line that separates enhancement from therapy; the example of improving IQ; how this technology can increase the gap between rich and poor, taking it to the whole new level of biological differences; individual and social considerations; and animal ethics.

At the beginning, we define violence, and talk about ways of creating a classification system for it. We then get into three main types of violence and many of their ramifications – dyadic violence, collective/social violence, and self-inflicted violence. In dyadic violence, we discuss mostly violence within and between the sexes and violence within families. After that, we talk about collective violence, the relationship between morality and violence, war, collective punishment of individuals, and social ostracization. Finally, we get into self-inflicted violence, and focus almost exclusively on suicide and its many dimensions, also discussing depression and the problems with psychopathological approaches to human behavior. We refer specifically to the by-product theory of suicide as put forth by Cas Soper in his book, The Evolution of Suicide. -- Follow Dr. Shackelford’s work: Website: https://www.toddkshackelford.com/ Edited books: https://amzn.to/2W0g0r2 Relevant books: The Evolution of Violence: https://amzn.to/2VcnEdh The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Violence, Homicide, and War: https://amzn.to/2DXfIqq The Evolution of Suicide: https://amzn.to/2LyGI62 -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, AND HERBERT GINTIS!
