Crisis and Critique, is a journal of political thought and philosophy, appearing two times a year. It has an international audience and readership, authors, and editorial board.
The podcast will not reproduce any content of the journal but operate as its extension. Therefore topics will not necessarily resonate with those dealt with in the journal.
The Crisis and Critique podcast seeks to intervene and reflect, discuss and engage from a philosophical perspective what happens outside of philosophy. It will therefore invite guests from a diverse array of practices.
Thomas Hertog on Stephen Hawking, cosmology, Big Bang, history and other things.
Frank Ruda and Agon Hamza sit down with the Belgian cosmologist Thomas to discuss his current work, his collaboration with his PhD advisor and collaborator Stephen Hawking, cosmology, the nature of the Big Bang, the relation between physics and philosophy, Hawking's “Darwinian revolution in cosmology”, observation, history, the problem of origin, and many other (non)related things.
