"Public Philosophy: Past, Present, and Future" Angie Hobbs with Peter West and Jon Hawkins

From the climate crisis and loss of biodiversity to the invasion of Ukraine and Covid-19; from austerity and spending cuts to Black Lives Matter; from the rise of nationalism and autocracy to attacks on the very concepts of truth and truthfulness – all these phenomena raise urgent issues of conceptual analysis and ethical and epistemological argument which philosophy is ideally suited to tackle.

To celebrate the launch of our new print issue, “Where is Public Philosophy Going?”, Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield, joins guest editors Peter West and Jon Hawkins for a wide-ranging discussion of the role of philosophy in the public sphere.
