Language of Politics

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

Politics, especially American politics, puts pressure on words like “liberal”, “conservative” and “values” as they are used more as weapons than as tools for communication. John and Ken discuss this process and the philosophical shifts that often accompany changes in meaning with famed San Francisco linguist Geoff Nunberg, a regular on “Fresh Air.”
