Who says real philosophers eschew digital technologies? Not me. I'm a fan of the Philosophy Bites blog, from David Edmonds (co-author of Wittgenstein's Poker and a BBC radio documentary writer) and Nigel Warburton, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University.

Since the beginning of September, they've launched several fascinating podcasts by well-known philosophers, on a site that usefully includes full information about the books mentioned in the podcasts.

Here's a list of the most recent podcast discussions:

Ray Monk on Philosophy and Biography

Ray Monk discusses the relationship between philosophy and a philosopher's life in this interview with Nigel Warburton for the Philosophy Bites podcast. Can understanding the biographical context of a philosopher and the type of person that they were help us understand their philosophical writing? Is there anything that philosophers might learn from biography? Monk as an award-winning biographer of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell is well-placed to address these questions.

Barry C. Smith on Neuroscience

In this interview for Philosophy Bites Barry C. Smith, the new director of the Institute of Philosophy in London, discusses the impact of recent discoveries in neuroscience (including blind sight and mirror neurones) on our understanding of the mind and our senses.

Adrian Moore on Kant's Metaphysics

Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is a great but difficult work. In this interview for Philosophy Bites A.W. Moore gives an accessible account of the main themes of the book and explains what might have been motivating Kant's approach to metaphysics (no mean feat in under 20 minutes!).

Peter Cave on Paradoxes

Philosophers have always fascinated by paradoxes. In this episode of Philosophy Bites Nigel Warburton interviews Peter Cave about paradoxes and their relevance to philosophy.
