The last of nine talks in which scientists of various disciplines have talked about concepts crucial to their field of study
9: The Role of the Concept by PROFESSOR GROVER MAXWELL Minnesota Center for Philosophy
What can the scientist do towards solving traditional philosophical problems? Well, for example, science now pretty well establishes the reality of the external physical world which is not, however, the world of common-sense tables, trees, oceans, and so on. This familiar world exists only in our minds. Science also strongly suggests, in a manner to be explained, that matter-or at least some portions of it-is much less material and much more mind-like than is commonly supposed.

A comedy by George Farquhar
Arranged for broadcasting by RAYMOND RAIKES Music composed by THOMAS EASTWOOD with Alec Clunes
Avice Landon , John Wyse
In 1943 Alec Clunes included Farquar's comedy in his Festival of English Comedy at the Arts Theatre, and revived it some years later in his Festival of English Drama. He repeats his performance as Sir Harry Wildair : ' a gentleman of most happy circumstances; his florid constitution. being never ruffled by misfortune nor stinted in its pleasures, has rendered him entertaining to others and easy to himself — turning all passion into gaiety of humour, by which he chooses rather to rejoice his friends than be hated by any.'
