Dr. Stephen Hicks teaches at Rockford University, where he also directs the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship. He is the author of books like Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, and Nietzsche and the Nazis. Additionally, he has published articles and essays on a range of subjects, including entrepreneurism, free speech in academia, the history and development of modern art, Ayn Rand's Objectivism, business ethics and the philosophy of education, including a series of YouTube lectures.

Here, we talk about the differences between modernism and postmodernism; the influences of Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx and Heidegger on postmodernism; the role the Frankfurt School played on promoting Marxist ideas; the differences between Marxism and Postmodernism; the philosophy of Foucault, Lyotard, Derrida, and Rorty; the current state of political and academic affairs and its relation to the several waves of postmodernism; and the relationship between existentialism and postmodernism.
