Elucidations · Episode 21: Raymond Geuss discusses political liberalism · 7 Mar 2011 podcast

So maybe you could say a little more about what's problematic with that idea. voice-verified

In some ways, it seems like what you're cautioning us against is a certain kind of hypocrisy. voice-verified

So as you say, we can look back to certain historical periods where, for example, in the Westwood expansion of the United States, there was a society that was in some sense built on consensus, but it was also one that was displacing by force. voice-verified

Thank you very much. voice-verified

powerful and rich people to the north displace the poor people who live in those neighborhoods by a process that's nothing like consensus. voice-verified

With the possibility of universalization comes the possibility of a certain kind of hypocrisy and blindness to the actual forces that are governing society. voice-verified

So one thing that one might be wondering at this stage is where do we go from here? voice-verified

If from within the very dominant liberal paradigm we want to be critical of liberalism, does that mean that all we really want to do is make certain small incremental adjustments or we want to try not to be too destructive so far as it's in our power? voice-verified

Or is there any sense that what we should be doing is looking for a fundamentally different form of political organisation? voice-verified

So where does your project go from here? voice-verified

Elucidations · Episode 20: Simon Critchley discusses faith · 8 Feb 2011 podcast

I mean I guess another example that will come to people's minds is an example like, well, I believe that Jesus died and rose again. voice-verified

Mm-hmm. voice-verified

Not because I have some kind of special historical evidence for that, I believe it on faith. voice-verified

And the way that this kind of example seems to work out in contemporary discussions voice-verified

is that you have two kind of views. voice-verified

One view is that that kind of faith is a virtue. voice-verified

Like it's a good thing to hold beliefs like that on faith. voice-verified

And the other view takes almost entirely the opposite position. voice-verified

It views that kind of faith as somehow illegitimate. voice-verified

Mm. voice-verified
