The two registers of freedom
Why the charge that Sartrean freedom is empty depends on running two questions together, and what separating them costs and yields. Suited to an undergraduate lecture or a general audience.
Lectures and Seminars
Speaking
A limited number of invitations are accepted each year, in person and remotely. An inquiry is not a commitment on either side; it opens a conversation about fit, date, and format.
Subjects that follow from the book
The practico-inert as a continuity test
Whether the Critique of Dialectical Reason repudiates Being and Nothingness or completes it, argued through the concept that does the most work in the later book. Suited to a graduate seminar.
Distributive answerability
How institutions allocate knowledge, authority, alternatives, costs, and remedial power, and what follows for responsibility in cases of many hands and structural injustice. Suited to law, policy, and professional-ethics audiences.
