"Has Science Killed Philosophy?" - Royal Institute of Philosophy Annual Debate

 Stephen Hawking's proclamation that philosophy is dead was clearly hyperbole. But when it comes to understanding the fundamental nature of reality, has philosophy really got anything left to contribute? Does the rise of physics demand the end of metaphysics?

Debating these questions are: Carlo Rovelli, Centre de Physique Théorique of the Aix-Marseille University Eleanor Knox, King's College London Alex Rosenberg, Duke University Chair: Ritula Shah, Journalist and Broadcaster The Annual Debate. "Has Science Killed Philosophy?" 1930 GMT, Wednesday 17th November 2021
