Creators of Modern Philosophy
Bryan Magee talks to leading philosophers about Western philosophy today.
The Spell of Linguistic Philosophy with Bernard Williams , former Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge, now Provost of King's.
Since language is a human invention, our sentences can have no meanings over and beyond what we ourselves give them: the meaning of a Word is its use. This was the central doctrine of the linguistic philosophers.

'After the war when a man is asked what he did it will be quite sufficient for him to say, "I marched and fought with the Desert Army".' (WINSTON CHURCHILL)
It is exactly 40 years since Rommel was defeated in North Africa. Last month a group of Veterans from the Eighth Army returned-to El Alamein, the scene of a battle that Montgomery described as 'a total killing match'.

Narrated by Robert Winston Kidney Stones
Carole Powell's baby was due in about two months when she developed a terrible pain in her back. She had a high temperature and was rushed to hospital.
They dealt with the problem temporarily and it wasn't until after the baby was born and X-rays could be taken that they discovered that she had two enormous stones-one in each kidney. The first of two programmes about kidney stones shows Carole's operation.

Arena continues the Samuel Beckett Season with a unique record of his new play Rockaby which has just opened at the National Theatre. Premiered in America, it was filmed in rehearsal and performance by the celebrated film maker D.A. Pennebaker. The programme follows Billie Whitelaw's preparations for her latest Beckett role: 'People think because I do this I'm well read and knowledgeable and know what it means. In fact, I have no education at all. Beckett blows the notes... they just come out of me....'
Attend the opening night in Buffalo; New York, and see the strange and haunting play, and the old woman rocking herself into death...
Rockaby directed for the stage by ALAN SCHNEIDER
Arena film produced and directed by D. A. PENNEBAKER and CHRIS HEGEDUS
(Not I tomorrow at 11.50)
