(also available immediately by selecting on-demand tab located below the webcast)
(37 min.) Free will or Determinism? Intro to Philosophy; Do we have free will or is our life determined by something else?
(29) The Examined Life: Do we have free will? Intro to Philosophy; asks if our lives determined, or if we freely choose among alternatives? Ancient philosophers believed us to be free moral beings, but how do we define our options in a world governed by the laws of physics?
(29) The Examined Life: What is human nature? Intro to Philosophy; contrasts traditional Greek and Judeo-Christian views of human nature with post-Darwinian and existential views.
(29) The Examined Life: Is mind distinct from body? Intro to Philosophy; examines how Descartes' dualistic view has been subject to waves of attacks from materialism, including present exponents of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. The program features commentary by John Searle, Daniel Dennett, Paul Churchland, and various other philosophers.
(14) Rudolf Steiner Waldorf Schools Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf-Steiner education is based on a profound understanding of human development that addresses the needs of the growing child.
(14) Biodynamic Agriculture Based on Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental principles of farming and gardening, a unified approach to agriculture that relates the ecology of the earth-organism to that of the entire cosmos.
(6) Camphill Village The Camphill Movement is therapeutic communities serving those with disabilities inspired by the education and social principles of Rudolf Steiner.
(13) Ruth Lieberherr Painting Exhibit Influenced by the ideas of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, my paintings explore the character of colors. From the fluid feeling of paint, I go where the inspiration of colors leads me. Images emerge from the subconscious. Memories of landscapes, people, and emotions, find a new, dreamlike reality in my work.
(44) Eurythmy A movement art originated by Rudolf Steiner with Marie von Sivers in the early 20th century. Primarily a performance art, it is also used in education and as a movement therapy. The gestures that build the basic movement repertoire of a eurythmist are connected to the sounds and rhythms of language, to the tonal experience of music, to fundamental soul experiences (such as joy and sorrow), and so on.
(44) In Search Of Anthroposophy 1976 German language movie about anthroposophy founded on a spiritual philosophy developed by Rudolf Steiner at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is born out of a philosophy of freedom living at the core of anthroposophy. Interesting film tour of the Goetheanum, Steiner’s art, Steiner’s death mask and much more.
(52) Gounod's Faust Opera combines some of the deeper elements of Goethe's drama with a less weighty French play by Michel Carre. Covent Garden, 2004. Conductor: Antonio Pappano. Bryn Terfel is Mefistofeles Angela Gheorghiu is Margherite and Roberto Alagna is Faust.
