uh because in many cases people can learn very well without the presence of a professor physically or and so forth so what i'm interested in though primarily though is the courses that i have taught over the course of many years having them in a vehicle that's obviously going to be accessible to more people

but also with better production values and in a way that can't, in some cases, be done even in a good in-person classroom. In philosophy, everything is controversial. A big part of education in life is philosophical education. How many beliefs do I have in my mind? How did they get into my mind in the first place? Where did they come from? What's good for you? What do you like?

What are your values? What do you want your life to be? Philosophy has a reputation for just being abstract. Philosophers love their abstractions, their general principles. What we want is to be much more careful. But what happens in politics, economics, business, family, religion, is because of philosophical ideas.

John Locke, Francis Bacon, René Descartes, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, they were the great geniuses of philosophy who made the modern world. We're philosophers, for goodness sake. What is philosophy all about? It's about a quest for coming to know true reality.

my areas of expertise have been modern philosophy and post-modern philosophy when philosophers and historians we talk about the modern era essentially we mean the last 500 years which has been you know extraordinarily revolutionary not only in philosophy but in how we do religion how we do science how we treat women getting rid of slavery industrial all of that stuff it's been

amazing and philosophy has its fingers in all of those pies and is part of it. So partly what I'm interested in is the giant names in philosophy, right? And they're all giants for a reason. They're all over the map intellectually from Descartes to Locke to Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche on into the 20th century. What role they have played in making the modern world and then the postmodern world happen

and in some cases, of course, resisting what is going on in modernity and in post-modernity. So the first two courses that the Academy invited me to teach were on modern philosophy, and essentially that picks up right at the beginning of the modern era with the giants, Rene Descartes, Francis Bacon, John Locke, laying a new foundation, overturning medieval philosophy,
