Dr. Cornel West, a leading philosopher and activist was invited to give the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh this year (2024). His series, entitled "A Jazz-soaked Philosophy for our Catastrophic Times: From Socrates to Coltrane" is an attempt to explore issues at the intersection of art, race, politics, and philosophy.
Dr. West continues his discussion from the first lecture, this time touching on the necessity/strictures of 'metaphilosophy' - the framework that defines the boundaries and reasons of all the inquiries that occur within it.
The original video can be found here.

As always these talks are syndicated for educational and nonprofit purposes in accordance with Fair Use. They are produced ad-free, because I listen to my own stuff on here and like you, I hate ads.
If you are able, donations to support the project, which is a labor of love for me, are available through Spotify. Anything helps and is felt.
Furthermore my historical and philosophical writing, which is also entirely free is available at my blog, Hemlock, on Substack.
The music of the intro and outro (Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major) is licensed under non-commercial attribution, and can be found here and has been remixed by me.
Enjoy.
