Podcasts about explaining postmodernism

This episode we interview Professor of Philosophy Stephen Hicks. In his excellent books Explaining Postmodernism and Nietzsche and the Nazis it becomes clear that the history of bad and good ideas—which he sees through the lens of Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment philosophers—is more than an academic issue but something with monumental importance for human life and prosperity. Rather than focus on this aspect of his work, which is widely known, we thought we'd ask him questions on epistemology, focusing on contrasting critical rationalism and objectivism. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/four-strands/support

Stephen Hicks, a professor of philosophy and author of Explaining Postmodernism, joins me to discuss the transformation of worldviews from the premodern to the modern and from the modern to the postmodern. After his incisive overview of these dramatic shifts, we discuss what it might look like to integrate the genuinely positive contributions of postmodern thought, and consider where we are headed in a post-postmodern world. 0:00 Introduction 1:58 How to Trace Philosophical History 4:15 From Premodern to Modern 15:56 From Modern to Postmodern 34:07 How Do We Move Beyond the Modern and Postmodern while Integrating Their Strengths? 43:28 Relativizing the Critique 51:14 Living After Postmodernism

On the one hand, we're told we live in a postmodern age. On the other, postmodernism is a notoriously challenging set of philosophical ideas to nail down and understand. But it's worth the effort, because postmodernism, even if it gets some of its arguments wrong or overstates its case, is deeply interesting, with genuinely valuable insights.To help me tease out just what postmodernism is and what we might learn from it, I'm joined by my good friend, and frequent ReImagining Liberty guest, Matt McManus.He's a lecturer in political science at the University of Michigan, and author of many books, including and The Rise of Post-Modern Conservatism and The Emergence of Post-modernity at the Intersection of Liberalism, Capitalism, and Secularism.Produced by Landry Ayres.

Stephen Hicks is a professor of philosophy at Rockford University, U.S. and the author of several books, including the best-seller Explaining Postmodernism, which details the philosophical roots of today's cultural climate. Mr. Hicks highlights Immanuel Kant's role in undermining objectivity and reason, showing how his ideas remain the corner stone of Post Modernism and "Fine Art" to this day. Giving an overview of Kant's aesthetics, metaphysics and epistemology, the conversation further explains how this cocktail necessarily cripples classically minded people: If we cannot know reality then the act of painting it becomes naive. If nothing is objective then we cannot trust the rules of any craft and if nothing is universal then we become estranged from the mythic perspective. You can listen to Hicks' lecture How Art Became Ugly or check out his appearances on various podcasts including his own Open College Podcast. His official YouTube-channel is CEE Channel (Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship).

The Ugly Hegel begins with his most famous pupil, Marx, whose practical outplay makes his ideology the most murderous and tyrannous in all human history. By their fruits you will know them, Jesus said, and when we set the historical record against Marxism and the Capitalist Western liberal democratic vision, "freedom is the victor," as President Reagan said in his famous Brandenburg Gate speech. Why do I spend so much time explicating the origin of our present godlessness? We must understand who we are, and why, and then we can take action to counter the error and re-establish God in His seat. Until we do, we can expect things to get worse.

It is available on YouTube, read by the author, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gSISuvvQks I do not agree with all of Hicks' analyses or conclusions, but his analytical commentary on the history of socialism is compact and accurate. In addition, I cannot recommend too highly the work of James Lindsay in his New Discourses podcast. He understands Hegel better than nearly anyone else out there, and has a talent for clearly explicating difficult material. https://newdiscourses.com/ https://newdiscourses.com/2022/01/theology-marxism/

In this episode, I invited the philosopher and author Stephen Hicks on the podcast to chat about his book, Explaining Postmodernism.  Stephen has been a Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University in Illinois for nearly 20 years, and he's published widely on the history of philosophy, ethics, and politics.   The reason I invited Stephen on the show is because I think postmodernism planted the seeds of the illiberalism that's erupting throughout our society today, and Stephen Hicks literally wrote the book on that development.  In my opinion, his insight is critical because the battle of ideas postmodern thinking provokes could very well determine the fate of liberal democracy our lifetime.

In this episode, I talk to author Stephen Hicks about his book: Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, and we chart the historical and philosophical path from the Medieval Pre-Modernist period, through the Modernist and Enlightenment period to the Postmodernist era and its current woke incarnation in today's society.

Stephen Hicks is a professor of philosophy at Rockford University, author of many books and overall exceptionally deep thinking, kind and erudite man.His book, Explaining Postmodernism (https://amzn.to/2Gt7dHD) has gained in relevance over the last few years, Hicks was quite early in predicting the social significance Postmodernism would have upon the world.Plus, Hicks is an expert on Nietzsche and his book 'Nietzsche and the Nazis' (https://amzn.to/3ik6CFF) does a terrific job at analysing that fascinating time stamp of history.

He has published five books:Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault.Nietzsche and the Nazis.The Art of Reasoning: Readings for Logical AnalysisEntrepreneurial Living.Liberalism Pro and Con.In this conversation, we discuss his book Explaining Postmodernism and topics and questions that sorround it, such as Identity Politics, how to approach philosophy as a young student, what's the role of universities in today's world, has Capitalism made the world more prosperous, are all human beings committed to progress, and much more.This episode comes at a time when ideas are clashing more and more, and it seems that we are forgetting how crucial it is to dialogue with those who oppose our ideas, rather than trying to shut them down. We are approaching an era that will be defined by challenges and uncertainty, and there is no better way of thriving during these times than by creating ties with people, and not by engaging in more divisive practices. This is why I believe that my conversation with Dr. Hicks was so important, as we engaged in a meaningful dialogue that had as its purpose to engage with our ideas critically. If we want to thrive as a species, we must recognize that dialogue in our universities, and both in the public and private sphere, is a crucial component of it. We must be able to open the conversation and challenge ideas, such as the notion of progress, globalism, individuality and collectivism. I hope this conversation inspires you to open your heart and ears for those who oppose you, and that you are able to engage with them in a civil, honest and critical manner.---Website: http://www.stephenhicks.org---HIGHLIGHTS(1:40) What does philosophy mean to you?(4:15) How do you approach philosophy and big thinkers with big ideas?(6:35) W.T.

Join us for The Atlas Society Asks Michael Newberry and Stephen Hicks. Michael Newberry is an American neo-romanticist painter based in Idyllwild, California. He blends a variety of influences, notably Rembrandt and the French Impressionists. The Atlas Society Senior Scholar Dr. Stephen Hicks is a professor of philosophy at Rockford University as well as the Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship. Professor Hicks has written a number of books, including Explaining Postmodernism (he also just wrote the intro to our just released Pocket Guide to Postmodernism).“Newberry’s work speaks to the senses, the intellect, and the passions of those who do not need the judgment of history to tell them what is great, but who can themselves make the judgment of history today.” –Dr. Hicks

Postmodernism is a serious view with important implications. Postmodernism can be used to think through questions about nature of morality, science, and social institutions—yielding answers that both challenge and help advance libertarianism and the case for a free society.What is postmodernism? Does postmodernism deny objective reality? How did Kant influence postmodernism? What is consciousness and what is the nature of our experience?

By most accounts we have entered a new intellectual age. We are postmodern now. The major targets of postmodernism include doing away with Reason, Truth, and Knowledge. Postmodernism then becomes an activist strategy against the coalition of reason and power. Postmodernism seeks not to find the foundation and the conditions of truth but to exercise power for the purpose of social change. Why do skeptical and releativistic arguments have the cultural power that they now do? How do the intellectual themes of exhaustion, nihilism, and cynicism coexist with a broader culture that is richer, freer, and more vigorous than any culture at any other point in history? Why is it that the leading postmodern thinkers are Left in their politics--in most cases, far Left? And why is it that that prominent segment of the Left-the same Left that traditionally defended its positions on the modernist grounds of reason, science, fairness for all, and optimism--is now voicing themes of anti-reason, anti-science, all's-fair-in-love-and-war, and cynicism? In other words...why has everyone gone crazy? We're exploring the book: Explaining Postmodernism, Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault by Stephen R.C. Hicks --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/truth-labs/support

This week we have the great philosopher/professor/author, Dr. Stephen Hicks discussing the life and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Stephen has written the books, Nietzsche and the Nazis, Liberalism: Pro and Con, and Explaining Postmodernism. 

Episode Summary   Today’s guest Elia Schito has been a Ruby developer for 12+ years and works for Nebulab. During his career he looked for Ruby to JavaScript translators and found Opal. The panel discusses where Opal belongs within an app and when the compilation into JavaScript occurs. The main reason a person would want to use Opal is to avoid writing in JavaScript. Elia talks about the benefits of using Opal. One is that productivity is better in a language like Ruby. Also, if you’re working on a project that needs to get done quickly, it makes sense to use Opal so that your speed is not hindered. Elia talks about testing Opal with things like WebPacker and Hyperstack, and explains what Hyperstack is.  Opal recently released a newer, bigger version, and Elia talks about the features of the new release. He details what kind of JavaScript it produces and how to hook it into your CICD, how to run it locally, and overall how to use the compiler.  He talks about how to debug in Opal. He notes that during the development cycle in Opal, you can refresh your page and it will compile the Ruby code into JS, so if there are any errors you will see it immediately. Opal is compatible with other tools to check your code. In the future, Elia wants to increase the coverage of the core and standard library, and believes that Opal is a great way to increase your skills in Ruby and JavaScript. He talks about the general reception of Opal among users. Opal is a perfect fit for smaller teams or older fullstack developers, especially if you don’t have a frontend team Elia notes that Opal, much like anything else, is a matter of preference, and relates it to the past reliance on CoffeeScript. For developers who refuse to write in JavaScript, Opal is an excellent option. He talks about the speed of compiling ruby to JavaScript in Opal and how it supports keeping current with Rails versions and other frameworks.  The panel asks if the Opal community made any inroads with DHH for making it part of the Rails stack proper and whether Opal wants to be integrated with Rails. Elia talks about some of Opal’s contributions to the Ruby Community. Elia talks about what generally happens if you choose to use Opal in a project. Opal is small, but you will have to make some tradeoffs. You have to call your standard library from Opal, but there are many ways to overcome that. The show concludes with Elia calling on the community to help him resurrect the Volt framework.

Professor Jordan B. Peterson is perhaps most famous for the neo-Marxist label “Postmodern Neo-Marxism.” Although Dr. Peterson recommends Explaining Postmodernism by Dr. Hicks, their analysis on this issue differs in some important ways.

As the title of the book implies, we talk about how Nietzsche might have influenced the German National-Socialist political ideology, and, toward the end, we also get a little bit into the connections between Nazism and Postmodernism, and how Nietzsche was one of the major influences in both these political opposite ideologies. Specific topics include Nietzsche's reactionary views against the values of the Enlightenment, namely rationality and objectivity, individualism, progress, and science as whole.

Vi har lenge hatt lyst til å snakke om Jordan Peterson. Så vi gjorde det, litt for å få klarhet litt der hvor vi mener den mangler, men like mye for å finne ut mer hva vi selv tenker. Så hva mener vi? Hadde satt pris på om du hører, tror det er verdt det. Det er verdt å lese boken hans også, 12 rules for life. Det er åpenbart mange ting vi ikke kommer innom, men kanskje vi får til å nyansere noen spørsmål. Send oss veldig gjerne tilbakemeldinger på innholdet i episoden og deres egne tanker om tema. Har vi bommet helt på noe av det vi sier så er vi veldig interesserte i å få høre det. Vi hadde litt lyst til å kalle episoden Jordan Peterson - med en fot i salaten, for han har, som Pål sier, nærmest en superkraft som består i av å havne i kontroverser og provosere folk og bli misforstått. Men vi holdt oss til en litt enklere tittel, og så får dere heller omdøpe episoden i hodet deres om dere ønsker. Bøker nevnt i episoden: Jordan Peterson, 12 rules for life. An antidote to chaos. (Vi glemte helt å kommentere undertittelen på boka, som temmelig åpenbart er dårlig valgt fordi den skaper mye mer misforståelser enn nødvendig, men det får være til en annen anledning).  Eivind Trædal, Hvorfor ytre høyre vinner debatten og hva vi kan gjøre med det Kaja Melsom, Den fordømte friheten. Et oppgjør med dagens selvrealiseringstyranni  Stuart Ritchie, IQ: All that matters I denne boken finner man blant annet dette sitatet som representerer en mer nøktern formulering av hva man skal tenke om biologiske forskjeller og rettferdighet: “If your belief in equal rights and opportunities for all – and against racism, sexism and other kinds of discrimination – is based on there being no biological differences between people, then you’ll find it very hard to know what to do if clear evidence of biological differences actually appears. If a hundred scientific papers were published tomorrow providing bulletproof evidence that women had higher general intelligence than men, or vice versa, would this justify sexism? Of course not. It makes better sense to base one’s moral beliefs on ethical principles that are informed by, but not shackled to, the vagaries of the scientific evidence. One of these principles might be equality of opportunity, regardless of biological make-up or social background.” (Kindle loc 1275)   Vi kom ikke i det hele tatt innom spørsmålet om Petersons holdninger til klimakrisen. Igjen så er det viktig å være litt ærlig i gjengivelsene av meninger, men her er vel et eksempel på hvor noen av hans avvisende kommentarer kanskje brukes av hans tilhengere til å være enda mer avvisende, og som vi peker på i episoden så er dette temmelig problematisk. En fin plass å starte for å få et litt mer nyansert bilde er å høre på hans samtale med Bjørn Lomborg på hans egen podkast. Igjen (kan ikke tro at jeg føler at jeg må gjenta dette på nytt), poenget er ikke å være enig med ham, men i det minste skille mellom hva en person faktisk mener og de meningene som tilskrives ham.  Her er noen lenker til artikler og videoer som nevnes i episoden. Nettet flommer jo over med stoff relatert til Peterson. Så grunnregelen burde vel være: Les boka først, det er det greieste, litt forvirra blir man antakeligvis uansett.    For de som har lyst til å vite litt mer om hans forhold til postmodernisme (den sunne holdningen her er vel «helst ikke», men åkkesom):  Om Petersons syn på postmodernisme:https://medium.com/@lachlanrdale/analysing-jordan-petersons-views-on-postmodernism-e63ef288680 Om hans tilsynelatende hovedkilde til postmodernismen, i alle fall den eneste som siteres i boka: Stephen Hicks, Explaining Postmodernism: https://www.viewpointmag.com/2018/01/23/postmodernism-not-take-place-jordan-petersons-12-rules-life/ Pdf-utgave av selve boka, så du kan se selv: http://www.stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ep-ee-2014-printing.pdf Til slutt, en omtale av boka: https://areomagazine.com/2018/10/17/a-review-of-explaining-postmodernism-by-stephen-hicks/   Video vi snakker om som omtaler hans bruk av hummere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5G7JSj6YGQ Podkasten Dialogisk, med Gunnar Tjomlid og Dag Sørås, har også laget to episoder som tar for seg Peterson. Hans intervjuer på The Joe Rogan Experience, særlig det siste fra november 2018, har mange klargjørende elementer.  --------------------------- Logoen vår er laget av Sveinung Sudbø, se hans arbeider på originalkopi.com   Musikken er av Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen, se facebooksiden Nygrenda Vev og Dur for mer info. ----------------------------   Takk for at du hører på.
