Description

Let some of the world’s star philosophers take you on a free-wheeling journey through their ideas and inquiries in this stimulating thought excursion from director Astra Taylor (What is Democracy?). Hit the streets of New York City with Cornel West and Peter Singer, take a figurative and literal dive into a garbage dump with Slavoj Žižek, and question individualism with Judith Butler on a stroll through San Francisco. Featuring Michael Hardt, Martha Nussbaum, Avital Ronell and more of today’s leading thinkers, Examined Life reveals philosophy’s power to transform the way we see the world around us and imagine our place in it.
