Stimulating and engaging conversations on great books and big ideas. Listen, learn, and think more deeply about the topics that move our collective minds. I engage the nation's leading scholars on free speech but also talk with students, philosophers and writers about the ways in which freedom of expression is truly the lifeblood of democracy. In the Great Books section, I speak with writers, academics, and others about books that truly did something new: add a voice that had not been acknowledged or heard in the public before; account for experiences previously silenced, outlawed or forgotten; devise a new way of telling one's story; or celebrate the human capacity for invention and creation in pathbreaking ways.

Muchas gracias desde Chile democrático
Hello, I am from Spain learning about Chinese American literature.
Gracias mil
Gracias, gracias ,,, un gusto verlos compartir
Thank you so much. From Chile
I love Maira and washing dishes. And watching clouds.
Right out of the gate, White Supremacy is mentioned. Sorry, Im out. Bye!
I would have liked to hear more from Peter Brooks.
She stifled and hoarded her mother's great accomplishments that should have been shared with the world. Diane was a crown jewel in the world of artisan accomplishments. Thanks for posting.
Where are we now..? 🤕
I am reading Ned Blackhawk's The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. He mentions Jane Johnson Schoolcraft creating the term Native Inland Sea, that was then used by James Fenimore Cooper in his book title, The Pathfinder: The Inland Sea. I'm exploring both writers and am happy to discover this podcast as a first step in learning more about Ms. Schoolcraft and her poetry
BRAVO!!!
Really? why? He says much the same about hierarchies’ proclivity to corrupt and decline into tyranny. Have you actually read any of his books, watched any of hundreds of hours of lectures, debates and interview-conversations? Or are you ‘relying’ on second, third … hand caricatures?
Very interesting listening to this in January 2023. It's only had 336 views in 4 years..... if only more people had heard it! Ms. Ben-Ghiat deserves a large audience.
Ulrich Baer - I find it interesting that you named this large series, "Free Speech." I read in your bio, this: "deepens his widely debated defense of the university’s right and obligation to arbitrate discourse (rather than surrender to an absolutist, anything-goes approach to speech) he first made in 2017 in The New York Times." - this sounds a bit not-so-free speech like Ulrich. Is this a case of another leftist using deceptive language, to disguise the true nature of their radical ideology? Whatever the case, the contradiction between the titles of your videos, and the contradictory viewpoint as revealed in your bio, is confusing and suspect.
White leftists from Yale & Harvard, or both, are unashamed and occupy the forefront of greed & imagined virtue. They'll argue that your opportunities should be spared for those more diverse. Nobody took the spots that they worked for, so they couldn't give a damn about yours.
This is a wonderful examination of Levi Strauss……. Thank you for yet another gift to contemplate. Your Primo Levian allusion led me to find my old copy of The Periodic Table which I’ll re-read differently …………much gratitude for these offerings. Miss Jenny.
A fine interview conducted by an extraordinarily erudite and inciteful interviewer…… a rarity indeed. Thank you sir. Prescient for me as I’m re-reading Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism and intend to study Richard Bernstein’s study thereafter. An aside: Interview took place in what I assume is Bernstein’s apartment? What a wonderfully ecclectic collection ….. the Nakashima pieces in partcicular caught my attention. With much appreciation, Miss Jenny (music teacher, Manhattan).
Hello I am from India
Absolutely terrific conversation. Thanks to both of you.
Very sad that instead of Hannah being famous we have Jordan Peterson. 😵💫
Ain't THAT the truth!
Lol 😂 …elitist much?
@@johnalbert5786 It's not elitism. Peterson is not a true intellectual. He's an Pseudo-Fascist ideologue who misrepresents any academic subject that doesnt conform to ideology he's peddling to our youth.
... who is an amazingly intelligent person.
🤣
Hey any update on how Haiti can get France to pay reparations to Haiti for their inhuman treatment to Haitians?
As a collector and scholar of Poe for more than 40 years now, my respect and admiration for Professor Kennedy is profound indeed. So wonderful to hear such an intimate and in-depth interview with him! Great stuff!
"hypocrisy in people who play the victim when they are in fact the ones who have all the power" oh my god 2020? amazing this was before the jan 6 attack on the capitol this is even really progressive thinking for right now wow better late than never wow but of course he talks about his own hypocrisy first making it particularly liberating and effective wow
& her how brave "my social anxiety" how brilliant this is also a target strategy you cannot be expected to know anything that is out of your control aka the not a fair fight ultimately you can prove that she is right in all our cases implying the information paradox in the information world exactly pro or anti effect affect this depends on how energy is distributed & with permissions with mutual consequences even the communication of space (also something we all ned for our mental health uninterrupted) requires disturbances to decrease until what we know as "sleep" starts to enter the cognitive evolution of all species Even plants sleep
"I have a pathology of getting lost." Wow.. They are like professional #ArtificalintelligenceGeneratedRemoteViewing #ArtificalintelligenceGeneratedBiometrics professionals What a target statement strategy holy crap so true.. Damn. These two are what, empirical 'twin flames' thats right.
It seems odd to me that a Communist would think about how one could regulate speech.
Any speech I don't like is hate speech, and I don't like this video... so thereby it is hate speech
36:22 pants on fire false
Please, cite your source. Or were you just screaming into the void?
@@tristanbruns5968 there are numerous sources. And here is one, which, regardless of factuality, you will dismiss as right wing, as though a left wing media outlet would report this info when it goes against its narrative. Races are real, whether you believe in them or not.
@@spiralsone yes, races are real - that’s why I study Critical Race Theory, lol! Go ahead and cite your source that Mexican immigrants DON’T make better citizens than entitled middle class U.S. residents? Delgado gave plenty of examples why. You said “here is one”, yet didn’t cite anything. Still waiting.
@@tristanbruns5968 Why do you study nonsense?
@@MasterChiefFloyd Oh? What about it is nonsense? What have you read from CRT that makes you say that? Or, are you just going by what biased opinions are saying about it?
This is so great. I’ve admired Jane Johnson Schoolcraft from my tribe for many years. She has been my inspiration, as an Anishinaabe poet myself.
Vivek is fire
This title interests we very much, but my first question is: Who decides what is hate speech?
I read Delgados book yesterday and I think I made about 15 pages of notes listing problems with the books arguments and even factual errors. But you can almost sum it up by pointing to the last part of the discussion here where Delgado bizarrely argues that threats to the press from the powerful are a good reason to weaken the 1st Amendment. It's so strange to see someone make so many incoherent arguments. Delgado and Baer for some reason blame the 1st Amendment for failing the civil rights movement when those convictions were overturned on 1st Amendment grounds. I'm not sure what else to call this but dishonest. They are discounting the enormous progress that has been made BECAUSE of the 1st Amendment and blaming it for the worst elements in society. If you're interested watch Ulrich debate Charles CW Cooke on free speech at Kenyon College. He makes similar arguments but gets called on it. Cooke shows how Ulrich is making the free speech case inadvertently but leaving out the obvious to try to twist the facts. He also gets called out by Steven Pinker and is unable to respond.
6:09 "Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God."
We need more critical race theory!!! Not because it calls for banning speech but because it calls us to ask questions. The people I’m the comments saying that we shouldn’t ban nazis from speaking are the same people who would like crt to be banned. Clearly they’ve never heard the saying “being intolerant of intolerance”.
We shouldn't ban Nazis from speaking because that is the only way their ideas will be exposed as intellectually and ethically wrong. The same goes for CRT.
CRT asks for a hell of a lot more than mere free speech. "Banning" it does not refer to hindering its free speech but denying it the highly privileged position it demands, a position we would never consider giving to Nazis, or Republicans . . . or Vegans. To the extent people want to "ban" CRT, this applies to using it to bully captive audiences into adopting its precepts. Another concern is that it functions as a toolbox for cynical grievance generation for the purpose of manipulating others. The latter is not something to be banned, but people ought be warned against entertaining it. Simply sharing your views in the normal way is not something most care to ban.
We've heard of "being intolerant of intolerance" and it is BS. You don't like that we recognize it as BS.
Thank you so much for hosting and recording this! Brilliant people! I’m sorry I left during the live session! All best
Did Richard slip Hannah the happenis that night 👍

As a democratic socialist I DEFEND the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT , FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE tradition of Western Civilization. I find it very ironic that so many advocates -indeed pillars - of CRITICAL RACE THEORY are shameless defenders of Zionist APARTHEID Israel. No surprise that many BLACK LIVES MATTER groups are flying Palestinian flags. I do not a want a mainstream news media - clearly dominated by pro-Zionists - to decide for me WHO I can listen to , WHO I can read, who is a messenger of HATE , who is NAUGHTY , and who is NICE , who are the Truth Tellers and Who are the Liars . The generic or " pseudo " Left- guided, in fact, by the Democratic Party- and the New York Times is becoming NOT " socialist " but more and more STALINIST in theory and practice. SOCIALISM will never be established by UNDEMOCRATIC means as it calls for the LIBERATION of the majority of the human race from capitalist WAGE SLAVERY and imperialism. Real socialists focus more on CLASS inequality and CLASS injustice and CLASS war while recognizing the historic reality of racism. NOTE : WHY THE CROSS OUTS ? WHAT DOES THAT PROVE ?
Why the cross outs ? What does that prove ?
Hahaha 21:00 we are equal because you agree with me, or at least present as you agree with my position by reading my work and taking the time to let me speak my position, lol. Wow. Then goes on to affiliate churches negatively with the free speech argument, but clarifies as *those churches* (the wrong sorta Churches/ones I would personally disagree with) ....ummm, like *those people* ? Or those N****?? Oh no, I'm SURE he didn't mean THAT ....just the equal equivalent of THAT. Law professor? Professor for sure, in the most derogatory of connotations of the term!🤦😂
@35:00 trump & ,,,
It's just another package for Marxism. There is nothing "liberal" about their positions.
Thank you for a wonderful discussion. My compliments.
Thank you so much -- definitely daunting to have a clear and accessible conversation on Immanuel Kant with one of the great Kant experts of our time! Glad you enjoyed, please see the other videos in the series as well! :)
This intro music gets me pumped every time
I have a suspicion that if restrictions on speech were much greater legally at the beginning of this country in the way that Delgado is trying to propose, that Delgado would not be able to talk about the ideas he's speaking of today. I think quite honestly he owes his career to Liberal speed free-speech laws and that he doesn't realize that.
He doesn't realize alot of things. We better watch out though...in his post-modernistic mind were probably already guilty of hate speech.
everybody have the right to search the trouthness. the goods use everything at good the evils at evil things. religion likewise. babylon and rome shouls though the bible write and passed concl. because the bible is true then the full bible is true the world's end likewise so shall. those too written is how the messiah come in the second temple amd after Him destroy jerusalem and the temple. after jesus so happened. and those too how for the God five 30 silvers amd for jesus given 30 silvers zecharias book. this prophetions fullfilled only by jesus. what can against this every body to say kabala, talmud, islam wich wrote the vatican to mislead arabic peoples.? the humanity know what have good end what not this is down written in human knowledge about the bible know man how true is and have good consequents only. those too written is how shall mocker who mock the messiah and the saints and living putted at ever fire this mocker (the antichrist) follow the jews in present day whos denyz negate how those jesus is the messiah Who was before 2000 years in jerusalem. who said how the varican tell say the trouthness about jesus and new alliance? or whos gave the 30 silvers for jesus. somes born in other knowledge ,but their convince not may to opress and to robbe or to take off with violence from they. must to open their eyes ,jesus telled the trouthness who would followed who not not. freedom is not violence ,so shall the ever Kingdome of jesus.
This is the best discussion of the social aspects of the book that I’ve heard on KZread. An insightful analysis of characters and social settings, and I loved the attention given to the red shoe scene from Volume III. Thank you I learned a lot!
