Humans are one species on a planet of millions of species. The literary collection Creature Needs is a project that grew out of a need to do something with grievous, anxious energy—an attempt to nourish the soul in a meaningful way, and an attempt to start somewhere specific in the face of big, earthly challenges and changes, to create a polyvocal call to arms about animal extinction and habitat loss and the ways our needs are interconnected.

As more and more humans came up against the edges of wilderness in American history, new laws were needed to help guide and shape what the process would look like. As time changed, so did the laws dealing with preserving nature and society's view on its importance. Jedediah Purdy is a professor of Law at Duke Law and the author of several books. His latest work is called Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy Is Flawed, Frightening―and Our Best Hope.Jedediah and Greg discuss the complex terrain of America's environmental laws, tracing the roots from the liberal tradition of conquering Fortuna to modern ecological movements. They also dissect the tension between preserving nature for human benefit and maintaining its mystical allure. They also talk about the often overlooked role of class in environmental politics, analyzing in-depth how this has influenced public debates over laws and public lands.Listen in and explore these intersections of politics, law, and nature with Jed Purdy.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:On the four different visions04:02: There are definitely, even more than four kinds of ways of experiencing and relating to the natural world that exist in the broad shape of American life. And then, especially if we were to take account of the variety of indigenous ways of relating that continue to have a life and have their own kinds of futures, these are four that are really embodied in legal regimes. So, they're a way of trying to understand how environmental imagination has been very practical in lending a shape to the law's world making activity.Viewing nature as a spiritual source12:00: There is this very different way of seeing nature, which is as a spiritual source, as a way of connecting us with a meaning that goes beyond and, in a way, above our practical and material projects. And has a religious significance, whether understood theologically or in a romantic register, that replaces religion traditionally understood with aesthetic experience and mystical intuition of a sort of world soul.The paradox of political energy and political aversion35:00: The book begins with the observation that our political moment feels paradoxical and that it's extremely politically energized, but the mobilization often feels connected much more with fear and despair around politics than any real sense that it's a constructive or hopeful activity. So we're very political, but we're very, obviously, big and crude, inviting people to recognize some part of their own experience and observation. But we are also very anxious about and averse to it.Climate crisis is an everything problem, not just an environmental one54:17: I don't think anyone would want to make averting the climate crisis hang on our ability or willingness to change all of those things at once. In some ways, the environmental question finally refuses to be siloed, and it may lose some of its distinctiveness. It may even be a residual habit—that sort of category error—to think of climate as an environmental problem rather than an everything problem.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Alexis de TocquevilleJohn LockeThe Homestead Act of 1862National Park Service Organic ActThe Wilderness ActHenry David ThoreauThe Frontier ThesisGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Duke LawHis Work:Two Cheers For PoliticsAfter Nature: A Politics for the AnthropoceneFor Common Things: Irony, Trust and Commitment in America TodayThe Meaning of Property: Freedom, Community, and the Legal ImaginationJedediah Purdy Amazon Author PageThis Land Is Our Land: The Struggle for a New CommonwealthA Tolerable Anarchy: Rebels, Reactionaries, and the Making of American FreedomBeing America: Liberty, Commerce, and Violence in an American WorldNew Yorker ArticlesThe Atlantic Articles

Catch up this summer on what you've missed. Today, legal scholar Jedediah Purdy joins Will and Siva to talk about the people and the law. Can Americans transcend gross inequality, neoliberal ideology, and the “politics of nihilism” taking root among their leaders? Looking to Frederick Douglass for inspiration, Purdy thinks so. His says citizens need to reimagine and rebuild the body politic — to rule themselves at last. It may be a crapshoot, but it's one a free people can't afford to let pass.

Reading list:* Corey Robin's Facebook Page* Not Yet Falling Apart: Two thinkers on the left offer a guide to navigating the stormy seas of modernity, by moi* Straight Outta Chappaqua: How Westchester-bred lefty prof Corey Robin came to loathe Israel, defend Steven Salaita, and help cats, by Phoebe Maltz Bovy* Online Fracas for a Critic of the Right, by Jennifer Schuessler* Scholar Behind U. of Illinois Boycotts Is a Longtime Activist, by Marc ParryA few years ago, I got this text from a friend after my guest on this episode of the podcast, Corey Robin, said something nice about my book on Facebook: “When Corey Robin is praising you on Facebook, you've arrived, my friend.”He was being funny, but also just saying a true thing. Corey Robin is a big deal on the intellectual left in America, and for the better part of a decade, from about 2012 to 2019, his Facebook page was one of the most vital and interesting spaces on the American intellectual left. Back in 2017, I wrote this about Corey and his most influential book, The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin:The Reactionary Mind has emerged as one of the more influential political works of the last decade. Robin himself has become, since the book's publication, one of the more aura-laden figures on the intellectual left. Paul Krugman cites him and the book periodically in his New York Times columns and on his blog. Robin's Facebook page, which he uses as a blog and discussion forum, has become one of the places to watch to understand where thinking on the left is. Another key node of the intellectual left is Crooked Timber, a group blog of left-wing academics to which Robin is a long-time contributor, and another is Jacobin, a socialist magazine that often re-publishes Robin's blog posts sans edits, like dispatches from the oracle.I've long been fascinated by Corey's Facebook page, in particular, because it was such a novel space. It couldn't exist prior to the internet, and if there were any other important writers who used the platform in that way, as a real venue for thoughtful and vigorous political discussion, I'm not familiar with them. It didn't replace or render obsolete the magazines, like The Nation and Dissent, that were the traditional places where the left talked to itself. It was just a different thing, an improvisational, unpredictable, rolling forum where you went to see what people of a certain bent were talking about, who the key players were, what the key debates were. And Corey himself, in this context, had a charismatic presence. To even get him to respond seriously to a comment you made on one of his posts was to get a little thrill. To be praised by Corey, in the main text of a post, was to feel like you were a made man. Over the past few weeks I've spent some time dipping into the archives of his page, and while there I compiled a list of notable names who showed up as commenters. My list included: Lauren Berlant, Matt Karp, Tim Lacy, Miriam Markowitz, Annette Gordon Reed,  Doug Henwood, Jeet Heer, Freddie Deboer, Raina Lipsitz, Elayne Tobin, Scott Lemieux, Paul Buhle, Jedediah Purdy, Jodi Dean, Alex Gourevitch, Tamsin Shaw, Rick Perlstein, Greg Grandin, Katha Pollitt, Joel Whitney, Liza Featherstone, Andrew Hartman, Rebecca Vilkomerson, Samuel Moyn, Tim Lacy, Yasmin Nair, Bhaskar Sunsara, Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor, Gideon Lewis Kraus.This is just the people I recognized (or googled ) in my brief time skimming. The full list of eminent leftist Americans who populated Corey's page over the years would surely run to hundreds of names, which is to say that a significant portion, maybe even a majority, of the writers and intellectuals who comprised the intellectual left in those years was reading and participating in his page. How this came about, and what it meant, is one of the topics we cover in the podcast, which ended up being a kind of stock-taking of sorts of the very recent history of the American left. We also talk about Corey's involvement as an organizer with GESO, Yale's graduate student union, when he was getting his PhD in political science; his retrospective thoughts on why he over-estimated the strength of the American left in the mid-2010s; what he got right about Trump and Trumpism; and why Clarence Thomas may be corrupt, but is at least intellectually honest about it. Corey is a professor at Brooklyn College and the author of three books: Fear: The History of a Political Idea, The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin (revised and re-issued as Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump), and most recently The Enigma of Clarence Thomas. He has written for The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, and Jacobin, among many other places.  Eminent Americans is a reader-supported publication.

Jedediah Purdy, an internationally renowned scholar of legal and political theory and an expert on constitutional law, will join Utah Law on Friday, January 20 for the college's annual William H. Leary Lecture. Purdy is the Raphael Lemkin Professor of Law at Duke Law School. His talk, “The Possible Futures of American Democracy,” marks the 57th annual Leary Lecture—a College of Law tradition that brings great legal scholars to our community to speak on pressing contemporary issues. The lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is required. There is plenty of doubt about American democracy: Whether it will survive, whether it can overcome our problems if it does, and whether it deserves to be called a democracy (or even to survive) in the first place. Too often, these urgent questions come at us as fast as the news cycle, and our responses, like a Twitter feed, reinforce what we already thought, amplified with fight-or-flight adrenaline. But if we slow down and think through some possible futures for the country, we can see more clearly what democracy means, and how law, politics, and culture can interact to uphold democracy or to erode it. Purdy is the author of seven books, most recently Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy is Flawed, Frightening and Our Best Hope. He has written extensively in forums including the Yale Law Journal, the Harvard Law Review, the Atlantic, the Nation, and the New York Times. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and two children. The Leary Lecture is named in honor of William H. Leary, Dean of the University of Utah College of Law from 1915 to 1950, who was renowned for his intellectual rigor and love of teaching. The Leary Lecture has been an annual event since 1965. This episode was originally recorded and broadcast January 20, 2023

American democracy might look healthier in light of last week's midterms, but there's still a lot of skepticism across the political spectrum about how it's doing. From the right, would-be authoritarians cast doubt on elections and on the very idea of liberal democracy. But even those who reject this authoritarian impulse are frequently uncomfortable with the messiness of democratic politics, instead preferring an anti-politics of technocratic decision-making. Jedediah Purdy, a law professor at Duke Law School, wants to defend democracy from its critics and its skeptics. In his new book, “Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy Is Flawed, Frightening—and Our Best Hope,” he argues that democratic renewal is both desirable and, most importantly, possible. Lawfare senior editor Alan Rozenshtein sat down with Jed to talk about the book, get his thoughts about the state of American democracy, and chart the path toward a healthier democratic future.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

“The Constitution is too fundamentally antidemocratic a document to serve democratic purposes reliably,” argues legal scholar and cultural critic Jedediah Purdy. In his new book, “Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy Is Flawed, Frightening, and Our Best Hope,” Purdy argues that the Constitution is standing in the way of democracy and suggests that we need to amend it. Purdy also urges us to not give up on politics, which he views as “not optional,” if we are to keep working on the experiment of democracy. We'll talk about the Constitution, reforming politics, and other ways Purdy believes we can create a more perfect union.

Umfrage & Gewinnspiel: www.suhrkamp.de/umfrage In vielen Ländern lässt sich in jüngster Zeit eine zunehmende Polarisierung der Gesellschaft beobachten und gerade 2020 wird in vielerlei Hinsicht als Krisenjahr in Erinnerung bleiben. Wie aber lassen sich gespaltene Gesellschaften wieder zusammenführen? Woran erkennt man, dass sich eine demokratische Gesellschaft in der Krise befindet? Und was kann Literatur in Zeiten von Krisen ausrichten? In Krisen der Demokratie gibt Adam Przeworski einen Überblick über die gegenwärtige politische Lage in den gefestigten Demokratien der Welt, stellt sie in den Kontext historischer Fälle, in denen demokratische Regime scheiterten und untergingen, und spekuliert über die Zukunftsaussichten dieser Regierungsform. Die Welt und wir von Jedediah Purdy untersucht die von politischen Spaltungen geprägte US-amerikanische Gesellschaft. Dort stehen sich Liberale gegenüber, die sich für den Klimaschutz und gegen Rassismus und Sexismus engagieren und Menschen, die Donald Trump feiern und die das politische Establishment bekämpfen. Seit dem Beginn der Kämpfe in der Ostukraine hat Serhij Zhadan keine Herausforderung gescheut, um sich eine starke lyrische Stimme zu erarbeiten, die einer vom Krieg gezeichneten, zerfallenden Gesellschaft Trost spenden möchte. In seinem Gedichtband Antenne gedenkt er auch seines verstorbenen Vaters, er findet einen Ton, um über die Unvermeidlichkeit des Todes und den Schmerz der Liebe zu sprechen – und über die Trauer. Dmitri Strozew, einer der wichtigsten belarussischen Gegenwartslyriker, erkundet in seinem Gedichtband staub tanzend, der 2020 im hochroth Verlag erschien, Themen wie das schwere Erbe des 20. Jahrhunderts, existenzielle Glaubensfragen und die Kritik an der orthodoxen Kirche, aber auch Liebe und Familienbande.

All eyes have turned to the judiciary. It's the one potential institutional check on Trump on the federal level (aside from the national security state). But the judiciary, despite pretenses to the contrary, is fundamentally political. It has historically shred civil rights and economic protections more often than it has protected them. Today, Dan Denvir speaks to Jed Purdy about the judiciary and other matters. Purdy is a professor at Duke Law and the author of three books on American political identity including The Meaning of Property. His most recent book is After Nature: A Politics for the Anthropocene and he has published articles in many, many publications.
