Keith Olbermann on Waterboarding Special Comment Taken from 5/11/07 Special Comment Countdown's format, per its name, involves Olbermann ranking the five biggest news stories of the day or sometimes "stories my producers force me to cover" as Olbermann puts it. This is done in numerical reversal or counting down with the first story shown being ranked fifth but apparently the most important. The segments ranked numbers two and one typically are of a lighter fare than segments ranked five through three. The first few stories shown are typically oriented toward government, politics, and world events. The last two typically involve celebrities, sports, or the bizarre.

Nigel Warburton is a lecturer at the Open University. Some of his books include -- Philosophy: The Basics (4th ed.), Philosophy: The Classics (3rd ed.) Thinking from A to Z (3rd ed.), Philosophy: The Essential Study Guide, and The Art Question; he also edited Philosophy: Basic Readings, second edition and is co-author of Reading Political Philosophy: Machiavelli to Mill. Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (June 21, 1905 -- April 15, 1980), normally known simply as Jean-Paul Sartre was a French existentialist philosopher and pioneer, dramatist and screenwriter, novelist and critic. He was a leading figure in 20th century French philosophy. Some of his books include; • L'Imagination (Imagination: A Psychological Critique), 1936 • La Transcendance de l'égo (The Transcendence of the Ego), 1937 • La Nausée (Nausea), 1938 • Le Mur (The Wall), 1939 • Esquisse d'une théorie des émotions (Sketch for a Theory of the Emotions), 1939 • L'Imaginaire (The Imaginary), 1940, lit. "The Unconscious" • Les Mouches (The Flies), 1943 - a modern version of the Oresteia • L'Être et le néant (Being and Nothingness), 1943 • Réflexions sur la question juive (Anti-Semite and Jew; literally, Reflections on the Jewish Question), 1943 SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_Sartre Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appeal to universal human qualities—particularly rationality. It is a component of a variety of more specific philosophical systems and is incorporated into several religious schools of thought. Humanism entails a commitment to the search for truth and morality through human means in support of human interests. In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, Humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on belief without reason, the supernatural, or texts of allegedly divine origin. Humanists endorse universal morality based on the commonality of the human condition, suggesting that solutions to human social and cultural problems cannot be parochial.

Friedrich Nietzsche on Freedom and Responsibility (Audio) Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 -- August 25, 1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. His style, and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth, raise considerable problems of interpretation, generating an extensive secondary literature in both continental and analytic philosophy. Nonetheless, his key ideas include interpreting tragedy as an affirmation of life, an eternal recurrence that has fallen into numerous interpretations, and a reversal of Platonism. Nietzsche began his career as a philologist before turning to philosophy. At the age of 24 he became Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, but resigned in 1879 due to health problems, which would plague him for most of his life. In 1889 he exhibited symptoms of a serious mental illness, living out his remaining years in the care of his mother and sister until his death in 1900.

Karl Marx - Mark Steel Lectures Part 5/5 Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818 -- March 14, 1883) was a 19th century philosopher, political economist, and revolutionary. Marx addressed a wide range of issues; he is most famous for his analysis of history, summed up in the opening line of the Communist Manifesto (1848): "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". Marx believed that the capitalism would be displaced by radical socialism which in turn would develop into a communism - a classless society. Often called the father of communism, Marx was both a scholar and a political activist.
