"Why Philosophy Tried to Commit Suicide in the 20th Century"

Published on Jan 28, 2021

Crispin Sartwell delivers the Fifth Annual Institute Lecture for AIPCT, January 21, 2021. The lecture was delayed from its usual November date by the pandemic, and was held virtually. The full title is "Why Philosophy Tried to Commit Suicide in the 20th Century (and a Bit about Why It Failed)." The lecture ranges across numerous figures who proclaimed the "death of philosophy," from Wittgenstein and Heidegger, and up through Adorno, Rorty, and the postmodernists. There is a lively discussion following the talk.
