But also at the same time, since I don't agree with any of them, but I do give them a fair shot, and we're trying to get inside their framework and see where they are coming from, and why these arguments are so powerful, and that we have to take them seriously.

Nonetheless, there have been many, as I think of them, philosophers who think the earlier traditions, sometimes the pre-modern, more scholastic or religious traditions, still have some bite and can be repackaged for this post-modern era.

Well, I think to some extent, yes. So, you would be an example of that. Others who think the Enlightenment project has been a great success, Even though it had some philosophical errors, those can be tweaked as an ongoing scientific project. And so I'm interested in also thinkers like Karl Popper and Ayn Rand and Philippa Foot, who are not so skeptical.

And the idea at the end of that course is that we have a sense of what the philosophical and philosophically informed intellectual landscape looks like in our time. Bringing it right up to current times and characterizing it as, in effect, a three-way debate between the moderns, the pre-moderns, and the post-moderns and post-moderns.

In one sense, we've never lived in better times philosophically because we have self-conscious, articulate, and very able representatives of all of those traditions operating in our generation. So bringing all of that in an eight-lecture series to a hopefully large international audience that can access them online. So that's been my intellectual mission there.

No, that's exactly on track. I think a lot of people in our era are more active-minded than people were in previous eras. We have more media, more freedom, more resources to be able to do so.
