Liberalism

September 7
3h 15m

Episode Description

Professor Kozlowski continues his idiotic life choices by reading and critiquing the neo-liberal political philosophy discussion surrounding John Rawls' A Theory of Justice. We'll talk about what Liberalism is, its dominance in the discussion of political philosophy, and its assumptions and blind spots - as well as just getting very frustrated by Nozick's particular brand of Libertarianism.

Our readings today come from:

FDR's State of the Union addresses in 1941 and 1944

Rawls' A Theory of Justice

Nozick's Anarchy, State, Utopia

Walzer's "A Defense of Equality"


And additional readings include:

Friedman's The World is Flat

Hayek's The Road to Serfdom

Caro's The Power Broker

Graeber's Bullshit Jobs

Huxley's Brave New World

Gibson's Neuromancer

Wallace's The Pale King

The Big Short (2015)

Sid Meier's Civilization

Fate of the World

Umurangi Generation


If you selfishly and freely wish to meditate on Professor Kozlowski's other individualistic contributions to society, thus patronizing his websites and encouraging more of the same, consider visiting his website: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/
