Street philosophy with award-winning historian and broadcaster Bettany Hughes. She begins each programme with the first, extant evidence of a single word-idea in Ancient Greek culture and travels both forwards and backwards in time, investigating how these ideas have been moulded by history, and how they've shaped us. A history of ideas described as “a double espresso shot of philosophy, history, science and the arts.”
2. Harmony
Bettany explores changing ideas about harmony through time at an opera rehearsal, in a garden, in mythology and on the battlefield.
