Radio Show Guest Spot: Hegel and (Mis)Education in America
Last month, I appeared as a guest on Patrick McCarty's internet radio show, Insight Radio, along with a bright young high school student, Rohan Macherla, who has already developed a strong interest in an understanding of the daunting, difficult thought of G.W.F. Hegel. The segment was to start out discussing the section "Self-Consciousness" from the Phenomenology of Spirit
(famous for the portion called the Master-Slave Dialectic), and then go off in whatever directions seemed fit to us.
As it turned out, our conversation (the full recording of which is available here) ended up focusing more and more on the conditions of contemporary education, and in particular with the effects -- good or bad, aimed at or unintended -- of recent, and in some ways ubiquitous, technological innovations have had on education and culture. Since our recording session, I've been mulling over certain unfinished lines of thought we outlined during the conversation.
