About this listen
Con el descubrimiento del ADN –el elemento básico de la vida– Crick y Watson influyeron en el desarrollo de la humanidad no solo en el ámbito científico, con la clonación y la investigación médica, sino también en nuestra vida diaria con la manipulación genética de los alimentos o la medicina forense. El descubrimiento del ADN también ha provocado serios dilemas éticos. ¿Pero qué es realmente el ADN? Crick, Watson y el ADN resume brillantemente la vida y la obra de estos dos científicos, dando una explicación clara y accesible del significado y la importancia del descubrimiento del ADN y de sus implicaciones para nuestro futuro.

Story
Kierkegaard no fue realmente filósofo en un sentido académico y, sin embargo, produjo lo que mucha gente espera de la filosofía. No escribió acerca del mundo, sino sobre la vida, sobre cómo la vivimos y cómo la elegimos. Su objeto de estudio es el individuo y la existencia del mismo: «el ser existente». Para Kierkegaard, esta entidad puramente subjetiva está más allá del alcance de la razón, la lógica, los sistemas filosóficos, la teología; más allá incluso de las «pretensiones de la psicología».

Story
La filosofía de Berkeley niega la existencia de la materia. Según él, no existe el mundo material, solamente la experiencia, de modo que, cuando algo no se ve, es que no existe. Entonces, ¿cómo es que subsiste el mundo? Pues porque lo sustenta la percepción constante de un Dios que todo lo ve. Las ideas de Berkeley parecen llevar el empirismo hasta extremos absurdos, pero ¿acaso no tenemos nosotros que dejar el sentido común y lo obvio a un lado para ir más allá de la pura existencia cotidiana? Paul Strathern expone de manera clara y concisa la vida e ideas de George Berkeley.

Story
El desconstructivismo de Derrida es nada menos que un intento de destruir toda «escritura» demostrando su inevitable falsedad. El escritor escribe con una mano, pero ¿qué hace con la otra? Todo escrito, todo texto, insiste Derrida, contiene su propia agenda escondida, sus propias suposiciones metafísicas. El propio lenguaje del escritor distorsiona inevitablemente lo que piensa y escribe. Se socava así la «verdad» de todo conocimiento; llega el posestructuralismo.

Story
Schopenhauer, el «filósofo del pesimismo», ve el mundo y nuestra vida en él como un mal chiste. Pero si bien el mundo es indiferente a nuestro destino, no es su propósito fastidiarnos adrede. La fachada del mundo se apoya en lo que Schopenhauer llama la voluntad universal, ciega y sin propósito. La voluntad nos acarrea toda nuestra miseria y todo nuestro sufrimiento. la única esperanza es la de liberarnos de su poder y de los atavíos superficiales del individualismo y el egoísmo, que están a su merced.

En vida de JeanPaul Sartre, su filosofía fue bien conocida por estudiantes, intelectuales y revolucionarios, e incluso entre el gran público de todo el mundo. Esta popularidad, sin precedentes para un filósofo, fue debida en parte a sus propias ideas políticas revolucionarias, pero sobre todo se debió a su papel como portavoz del existencialismo en el momento justo en que este conjunto de ideas llenaba el vacío espiritual heredado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus despojos.

Story
En los siglos anteriores a él, la filosofía había sido peligrosa para los filósofos, pero con Friedrich Nietzsche resulta peligrosa para todo el mundo. Nietzsche enloqueció y su locura presagió la demencia colectiva que había de tener consecuencias horrendas en Europa durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. La suya es una filosofía de aforismos y de penetrante visión psicológica, no un sistema, pero es brillante, persuasiva e incisiva como ninguna otra antes o después de él.

Los conflictos de Agustín de Hipona con el sexo y con una madre dominante, seguidos de una crisis espiritual que le llevó a convertirse al cristianismo –contadas con detalle en sus Confesiones, le condujeron por último a hacer su contribución más importante a la filosofía: la fusión de las doctrinas del cristianismo y del neoplatonismo. Así, no solo proporcionó al cristianismo un fuerte soporte intelectual, sino que lo enlazó con la tradición griega de la filosofía.

Story
The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.
