Each month, our "Tuesday Forum" presents talk shows produced by our own staff on special topics, at least for the first four Tuesdays. When a month occurs with FIVE Tuesdays, about once every three months, we usually feature our choice of an extraordinary syndicated talk show, and often it has been a show from the monthly series, "Philosophy Talk." So, at the end of this year, we celebrate the end of the first decade of this informative, challenging--and even entertaining--broadcast endeavor, from two philosophy professors at Stanford University.
