As we approach the end of 2016, we are gearing up for our annual year in review show, "The Examined Year." In this special show, which broadcasts live from our home station,KALW在美国，我们不同于以往只邀请一位客人进行长时间的谈话，而是在三个不同的环节邀请三位不同的客人。
The theme we've chosen for our philosophical review of 2016 is "Triumph and Defeat." Politically speaking, it's obvious how that theme applies. The two biggest political upsets of the year that we'll be examining are Brexit and Trump. Joining us for that segment will be political philosopherDebra Satzof Stanford's Philosophy Department, who has beena guest on the showseveral times before.
Another arena where triumph and defeat loomed large this year was in the sports world. To discuss these events (someone told me what they were but I forgot immediately) and how the philosophical concept of moral luck ought to shape our reactions to these events, we will be joined by journalist, editor, and philosopherDavid V. Johnson.
The final segment of our show examines the major progress that was made this year in the technology of driverless vehicles. Just yesterday, Uber launched its first even driverless car in our (and their) hometown of San Fransisco. California's DMV immediatelyissued a statement在一辆无人驾驶汽车被拍到闯红灯后，政府宣布这种无人驾驶汽车是非法的。我们将不会关注围绕无人驾驶汽车和卡车的法律问题，而是关注我们应该如何理解自动化的这一最新趋势，以及这对工人和未来工作意味着什么。这会是企业的胜利，工人的失败吗?Our guest for this segment, political scientistMargaret Leviof Stanford'sCenter for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, thinks the issue is a lot more complex than this simple narrative of triumph and defeat suggests.
在这一小时的节目中，很不幸，我们只有这么多时间。但我们很想知道你认为今年的一些重大事件是什么，以及它们的哲学意义。请在下面的评论部分分享你的想法!
不要忘记在太平洋标准时间1月8日上午10点收看我们的“2016年考试”节目!
Meanwhile, I'll leave you with this video from January, the single that David Bowie released just days before his death.
