In this Q&A session for Rebecca Goldstein's lectureon her new book, Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away, she faces off against chemist Peter Atkins and other questioners on age-old discussions about the roles of science and traditional philosophy. Professor Atkins maintains that philosophy doesn't tell us anything useful which science cannot; Dr Goldstein argues that the two must always work together.
Other questioners include humanist philosopher Dr Brendan Larvor and Young Humanists coordinator Alice Fuller.
