For several centuries, people though diseases were caused by wandering clouds of poisonous vapor. We now know that this theory is pretty ridiculous, and that diseases are caused by specific bacteria. But how did we get to this new idea of germ theory? Tien Nguyen describes the work of several scientists who discredited a widely accepted theory in a way that was beneficial to human health.

RSA Replay: Closing the Opportunity Gap--Robert Putnam

source: The RSA 2015年10月14日
The annual RSA Chairman’s lecture is delivered by the distinguished political scientist and founding father of social capital theory, Professor Robert Putnam.
Robert Putnam is Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University and has been called “the most influential academic in the world today”.
The recipient of many international scholarly honours, and an adviser to presidents, prime ministers and public leaders world-wide, his books include the best-selling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and Making Democracy Work, which are among the most cited publications in the social sciences in the last half century.
Since 2010, Professor Putnam has been focused on one major empirical project – ‘Inequality and opportunity: the growing class gap among American young people and the implications for social mobility’. His book on this subject, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis was published earlier this year.
In his 2015 RSA Chairman’s Lecture, Professor Putnam shares the key insights from this work, explores the cultural and economic factors that are contributing to the persistence of inequality, and considers what practically can be done to address the widening ‘opportunity gap’.

Alain Badiou. What is Philosophy? (Part II). 2010.

source: European Graduate School 2011年5月2日
http://www.egs.edu/ Alain Badiou, French philosopher and author, lectures on the nature and essence of philosophy. In this lecture, Alain Badiou discusses the question 'what is philosophy'. He begins with three concrete problems, namely: philosophy and language, philosophy and duty and dialectical versus analytic philosophy. In Part II, of 'What is Philosophy', Badiou focuses on the paradoxical relationship between philosophy and time, specifically discussing the problem of transmission, the non-reducibility of philosophy to the present, philosophy as symptom, and the relationship between past, present and future.

Alain Badiou. The Process of Philosophy. 2010.

source: European Graduate School 2011年5月3日
http://www.egs.edu/ Alain Badiou, French philosopher and author, lectures on the process of philosophy. In this lecture, Alain Badiou, describes the beginning of the philosophical process as the purely subjective choice between being qua being and existence. Badiou discusses this problem in relation to two of his 'great' works: 'Being and Event' and 'Logics of Worlds'; and in relation to the works of Plato, G.W.F. Hegel, and Martin Heidegger. In the lecture, Badiou discusses the concept of ontological difference, being qua being, existence and truth, along with a firm distinction between the figure of the philosopher and other figures, such as that of a scientist. Public lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2010 Alain Badiou.
