This week, our programs examine how authority, tradition and meaning are being reshaped in modern life, from hospitals to museums to political arenas.
On The Philosopher's Zone, we ask: what does a medical diagnosis mean today? From doctors to wellness influencers and now AI, the power to name illness is increasingly shared and contested. So who gets to decide what's "wrong" with us, and how does this affect our trust in medical authority?
Head to Soul Search to step into the quiet halls of museums — not as places of static display but as living institutions that challenge and reframe our sense of meaning. Through the lens of religion and memory, we explore how museums are grappling with questions of cultural responsibility and ethical curation.
And on The Minefield, Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens ask where conservative politics in Australia might go next. In a landscape marked by cultural backlash, shifting moral frameworks and electoral defeat, is there a coherent vision for conservatism or just a reflex against progressive change? |
