Robert Bernasconi

Robert Bernasconi speaks to PWD from his garden in Memphis.  Daniel J. Smith and the editorial team prepared the questions which range from the meaning of « western » in philosophy; racism and the philosophical canon; on the peculiar friendship of the philosophers; the racisms of Nietzsche and Heidegger; the future of metaphysics; and football. Bernasconi invites us to investigate the invention of «the Occident »  in the history of philosophy from the 18th century and he calls for a practice of reading today which remembers the texts of philosophy without idolatry.
