The Digital Turn: How Computers Change Our Life (And How Philosophy Helps Us to Understand It)
Computers have transformed our lives. This is a challenge for philosophical ethics. Take two examples: friendship and theft. Is virtual friendship real and can it replace friendship in real life? Can we steal something, even if the thing itself does not change its location, because it is merely virtual?

Russia's Challenge: A Declining Power's Quest for Status
The talk traces Russia's challenge to the international order to Russian leader's concerns about the country's international status.

However, the speaker argues that Russia's current obsession with status is a natural product of its decline as a great power in the international system.
