Philosophy Talk presents Down-to-Earth Philosophy in Action - bringing the richness of philosophic thought to subjects that affect us all, with plenty of insights from the world's great philosophers:

- Our Relationships: flirting, friendship, love, marriage
- Our Beliefs: ethics, justice, religion, morality
- Our World: mathematics, language, consciousness, artificial intelligence
- Our Passions: baseball, animals, humor, film, art, dreaming and more.

Lively and topical -

- Great conversations with Special Guests, such as University of Chicago's Martha Nussbaum, the acclaimed author and moral philosopher, and Dan Dennett, specialist in philosophy of the mind at Tufts University
- Field reports by Roving Philosophers Polly Stryker and Zoe Corneli
- Commentary from the Sixty-Second Philosopher, Ian Shoales
- Conundrums submitted by listeners

Smart discussions and a bit of irreverence - as the Philosophers tackle big questions and untangle listener-submitted puzzles such as, "Is it all right to lie, if it will help me get my child into the best daycare in my area?" or "Should I give to a panhandler, even if I don't approve of what he or she may do with the money?"

Philosophy Talk is a weekly, one-hour public radio series produced by Ben Manilla and broadcast from KALW-FM in San Francisco.
