Interviews with Philosophers
This Page is dedicated to interviews or talks by 20th and 21st century philosophers. Needless to say, I do not always agree with the positions that these philosophers defend. (Rarely do philosophers entirely agree with one another.) But given that UP@NIGHT often touches on political philosophy, I thought this would be a good addition to the site. I will continue to update this Page with interviews and talks. Stay tuned.
Jürgen Habermas: On democracy and his philosophical roots.
The Putnam-Rorty Debate and the Pragmatist Revival (Several philosophers interviewed, including Putnam and Rorty):
Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault
Jacques Derrida: Fear of Writing
John Searle on the Philosophy of Language
Robert Brandom
In these comments on his book, Making it Explict, Brandom discusses the relationship between Hegel and Pragmatism about 8 minutes into the interview.
