Julian Baggini




Blackwell Online Podcasts show

Summary: British philosopher Julian Baggini returns to our show for a second time, joining us today to talk about his new book, 'Complaint'. The book carries the sub-title 'From Minor Moans to Principled Protests', and runs the full gamut of objections. From trivial grumbles about bad weather and public transport to the paradigm-shifting political protests of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Baggini gives philosophical answers to why we complain and how each case is perceived.
