About New Voices in the History of Philosophy

New Voices is a podcast from the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy Partnership, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. newnarrativesinphilosophy.net This podcast consists of conversations about philosophers from groups that have been underrepresented and excluded in the history of European and Western philosophy: their views, what is interesting and unique about them, and how they fit in to the periods that they were apart of. We also talk about what it is actually like to learn about and promote these ideas as a philosopher today: what benefits there are, what challenges there are, and just how to get going on this work.

   Season 5, Episode 5: Victoria Welby's metaphysics : Interview with Emily Thomas

   In this episode, Maheshi speaks with Professor Emily Thomas at Durham University about Victoria Welby, a female metaphysician belonging to the 20th century. We discuss her worldview of motion, the idea of motion as energy, and a connection of motion to both time and space. Welby used her "philosophical salon" to discuss her metaphysics and build an extensive intellectual network. Emily makes a novel contribution to Welby's metaphysics by bringing attention to a cohesive link on motion with matter, mind, space, change, and time.
