Where do our ideas come from? According to René Descartes at least some of them are innate, acquired indpendently of experience. In this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast Colin McGinn explains why he thinks that Descartes' view of the mind has something to be said for it, particularly when combined with Leibniz's insight that innate ideas must be initially unconscious.

Philosopher Kendall Walton argues that photographs are distinctively different from other kinds of pictures: he thinks that we can literally see through them to the objects and people they are of. He explains this counterintuitive idea in the course of this interview with Nigel Warburton.

This event, which celebrates those big questions you had always wanted to ask but never knew where to start, is your chance to ask a philosopher your questions on life, the universe and everything. Are you the same person that started reading this? Do we truly exist? Are moral values relative or absolute? In a night made up of your ponderings and his illuminating answers, Nigel Warburton bites back, and will be speaking exclusively on the topics that you bring to the table.
Nigel Warburton is a philosopher and senior lecturer at the Open University, and is author of A Little History of Philosophy and the co-editor, with David Edmonds, of Philosophy Bites Back, which is the second book to come out of the hugely successful podcast, Philosophy Bites. It presents a selection of lively interviews with leading philosophers of our time, who discuss the ideas and works of some of the most important thinkers in history.
Tickets cost £3 and can be obtained by telephoning or visiting the Customer Service Department, Blackwell Bookshop, Oxford. 01865 333623.

Are we simply material beings? Do we have an immaterial soul? Can we know this? These questions have vexed philosophers for millenia. Avicenna, who was born in the 10th Century believed he could show that we are not simply physical through a thought experiment, the Flying Man. Peter Adamson discusses this idea with Nigel Warburton in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast.
