On Bringing Thinking Down to Earth - Professor Linda Zerilli (Chicago)

In this episode, we are speaking with Professor Linda Zerilli,  the Charles E. Merriam Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at Chicago University, where she writes on subjects ranging from feminist thought to the politics of language, democratic theory, and Continental philosophy.We discuss her reflections on Volume I of Hannah Arendt’s The Life of the Mind as well as the interplay between thinking, knowing and judging. We ask why opinions matter, wonder about the role of individuals in assessing the legal system and learn from feminist historiography.Massive thanks to Professor Zerilli for her time and engagement: we look forward to seeing the published papers!To further engage with Professor Zerilli's fascinating research, please visit: https://chicago.academia.edu/LZerilliIf you like what we do, you can buy us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/justtheory.
