In 1993 Rick Roderick. professor of philosophy at Duke University and elsewhere delivered a capstone eight-part series reviewing philosophers who posed the deepest and most contemporary challenges to our conventional (Western) concept of "the self". They were:
Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud ("The Masters of Suspicion"), Martin Heidegger, Jean Paul Sartre, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Jean Baudrillard.
(00:00:00) The Masters of Suspicion (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud)
(00:48:46) Heidegger and the Rejection of Humanism
(01:34:01) Sartre and the Roads to Freedom
(02:14:13) Marcuse and One-Dimensional Man
(02:59:48) Habermas and the Fragile Dignity of Humanity
(03:47:35) Foucault and the Disappearance of the Human
(04:33:34) Derrida and the Ends of Man
(05:18:01) Fatal Strategies: Baudrillard
In this super-episode I've combined all eight episodes into one with chapters for easy navigation. The Marcuse episode was previously syndicated as the second half of the "Herbert Marcuse Double Episode" but it's well worth a second listen.
Enjoy.
