Stephen Kershnar is Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Fredonia. He has done important work on a number of controversial topics in philosophy.Due to ongoing litigation, we weren’t able to talk about the most recent controversy he was involved in. I will simply note what is public information, namely, SUNY Fredonia is shutting down its philosophy department, which will have the effect of terminating its only member (Steve).Timestamps00:00 – How Steve got in trouble2:05 – Do we really need to attack every taboo?36.49 – The contradictions of institutionalized philosophy1:18:15 – What is racism?1:29:44 – Do people differ in value?1:40:48 – ClosingNathan Cofnas’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
