The Story of Things

‘The Story of Things’ is a podcast series produced by the University of York’s Festival of Ideas. It explores the meaning of everyday objects from the past and present that help us explain the world we live in. Why do we emotionally react to objects? Do certain objects help us in our uniqueness? Is it the story behind the object that truly provides meaning? Presenter and archaeologist, Dr Penny Spikins, and philosopher, Dr Dorothea Debus, both from the University of York, put these questions in the context of human evolution and the philosophy of the mind.
