Crisis and Critique
Crisis and Critique, is a journal of political thought and philosophy, appearing two times a year. It has an international audience and readership, authors, and editorial board. The journal has gained a reputation for its rigour and perspicacious treatment of the topics it covers. It began in 2012, whereas the first issue was published in 2014.
The podcast will not reproduce any content of the journal but operate as its extension. Therefore topics will not necessarily resonate with those dealt with in the journal.
The Crisis and Critique podcast seeks to intervene and reflect, discuss and engage from a philosophical perspective what happens outside of philosophy. It will therefore invite guests from a diverse array of practices, and will sometimes also include philosophers. We will discuss their work, or contemporary or past events, and odd, weird, or spectacular phenomena.
New episodes will be released roughly every four weeks.
