Abstract

This interview revolves around critical thinking and its contradictions and aporias. Professor Brown starts by discussing critical thinking as an infinite but specific intellectual effort that cannot and shouldn’t be melded into a single project. The same goes for the left, because of the complexities and diversities involved in issues like sovereignty, Human Rights, the Third World and feminism.
