Abstract

The Philosophy Department of the University of Bologna has produced a series of podcasts (FilCast - Idee Sbagliate) that explore themes and problems of philosophical relevance through a multiplicity of voices and perspectives. Specifically, the aim of the podcasts is to show how ambiguous ideas are controversial, convincing and productive from certain points of view, problematic and harmful from others. The Horizon Europe ERC “UseFool” Project contributed with the episode “Idea Sbagliata: Caccia al tesoro”, devoted to treasure hunting and its social and material implications in the Arabo-Islamic middle age. The text composed for the episode is contained in this dataset. The complete series of podcasts can be found at https://filo.unibo.it/it/con-societa-e-impresa/divulgazione-scientifica/filcast. The audio of the episode is available in the podcast platform “Speakers” and in “Spotify”.
