➤ Philosophy’s radical histories • Contemporary political theory • Revolutionary violence • Climate change • Marxist criticism • Right-wing political thought • Feminist philosophy • Antifascism • Analytical Marxism • Liberalism critique"What's Left of Philosophy" is a podcast that delves deeply into the intersections of philosophy, politics, and critical theory, often through a radical lens. Hosted by Gil Morejón, Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, and William Paris, the podcast is committed to exploring both the historical roots and contemporary applications of philosophical ideas in addressing social and political issues.
The episodes feature a variety of themes, with a prominent focus on the critique of capitalism, colonialism, and fascism. Discussions often center on the works of influential thinkers, both historical and contemporary, including Frantz Fanon, G.A. Cohen, Judith Butler, and Antonio Gramsci. The podcast covers a diverse array of topics such as the nature of revolutionary violence, ecological materialism, and the philosophical underpinnings of right-wing and left-wing political ideologies.
Philosophical ideas are examined not just in abstraction but in their material and practical implications. This is evident in episodes that discuss the logistics of climate change, the intricacies of Marxist economic theory, and the societal impacts of urbanization and planning. Themes of justice, equality, and emancipation recur throughout the episodes, with particular attention given to the philosophical arguments surrounding these concepts by various schools of thought, including Analytical Marxism, Critical Theory, and Post-Structuralism.
Guest appearances by scholars and experts add depth to the discussions, often providing specialized knowledge on niche subjects such as the aesthetics of hip hop, industrial capitalism, or the ethical dimensions of feminist theory. The podcast also engages with contemporary discourses, analyzing current ideological trends and movements like Effective Altruism, ecosocialism, and propaganda.
Overall, "What's Left of Philosophy" offers a thorough examination of how philosophical thought can inform and be informed by radical political practice, making it a rich resource for those interested in the philosophical dimensions of social and political theory.
