The Veil of the Temple - Patricia Rozario (sop), Choir of the Temple Church, Holst Singers/Stephen Layton (Sony 82876 55154)

"I regard The Veil of the Temple as the supreme achievement of my life and the most important work that I have ever composed. By the act of writing The Veil I understood that no single religion could be exclusive. The Veil has become light - there is no longer any veil. This tearing away of the Veil shows that all religions are in the transcendent way inwardly united beneath their outward form."

Philosophy Talk

Philosophy Talk is radio that celebrates the value of the examined life. Our two philosopher-hosts invite listeners to join them in conversations about a wide variety of issues, ranging from popular culture to our most deeply held beliefs about science, morality, and the human condition

Philosophy Talk is presented by Ken Taylor and John Perry of Stanford University

Six programmes

(1) Remixing Reality, Art & Literature for the 21st century

For decades, literary critics have been questioning the relevance of the novel as a literary form, with some going so far as to declare its death. But if the novel is dead, it's not clear what new form can take its place. Should we treat the popularity of the memoir as a sign that what readers want is more truth, less fiction? Or is the memoir, like 'reality TV,' mostly just fiction dressed up as fact? In these fragmented times, when everything has already been said or done before, can there be any truly original innovations in art and literature? Or is the demand for originality itself an antiquated idea? John and Ken mix it up with David Shields, author of Reality Hunger: A Manifesto (Ben Manilla Productions)
