This podcast, "What's Left of Philosophy," delves into the intersection of philosophy, politics, and critical theory, offering an exploration of radical philosophical ideas and contemporary political thought. The hosts—Gil Morejón, Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, and William Paris—engage in discussions that weave through the historical and theoretical dimensions of various philosophical traditions.

The episodes cover a broad range of topics, from critiques of market society to explorations of Marxist philosophy and its variants. Central themes often include the interrogation of state power, critiques of capitalism, and considerations of socialism. The podcast frequently addresses the works of influential philosophers, both classical and contemporary, engaging with their ideas on subjects like justice, equality, and the dynamics of freedom and oppression.

Recurring subjects include economic power, critical realism, and debates on reform versus revolution. The podcast also examines the intersections of race, colonialism, and identity politics, with discussions on figures such as Frantz Fanon and Charles Mills. Additionally, the podcast reflects on the role of aesthetics, exploring how art can contribute to social change and philosophical understanding.

Considerations of ethics and morality appear throughout, with special attention to the application of philosophical theories to practical matters, such as environmental sustainability and participatory economics. The hosts also delve into societal structures, from the dynamics of urbanization to the alienation of labor and the impact of propaganda.

The content is deeply embedded in critical theory, often challenging traditional liberal viewpoints and evaluating progressive alternatives. By engaging with both historical and modern philosophical texts and theories, the podcast aims to provoke thoughtful dialogue on how philosophical insights can contribute to understanding and potentially transforming contemporary social and political landscapes.
