Exploration
The "Exploration" radio show is an hour-long science program heard nationally. Exploration covers the world of science, war and peace, and the environment. The show has commentary and interviews with top scientists and environmentalists.
On Explorations this week Dr. Michio Kaku talks about inner space, or what is inside your mind?
His first guest was Prof. Daniel Clement Dennett III, an American philosopher and cognitive scientist. His research centered on the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science. Dennett is the author of Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon, in which he argues that religion is in need of scientific analysis so that its nature and future may be better understood.
Next, Dr, Kaku speaks with Steven Arthur Pinker, a Canadian-American cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, and public intellectual. He is an advocate of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind. Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. He is the author of Enlightenment Now. Steven Pinker will talk to Dr. Kaku about the mind – is it a blank slate? Is there a core of behavior hardwired into us?
