Ep. 248: Racism and Policing (Al-Saji, Merleau-Ponty, et al) (Part Two)

Jul 27, 2020, 03:16 PM

Continuing on Alia Al-Saji’s “A Phenomenology of Hesitation” (2014) and other things with guest Phil Hopkins

Can we restructure our (and the police's) reactions and live with each other? We further explore the psychology of habit and Al-Saji's notion of hesitation. How does it compare to other types of heistation recommended by philosophies and religions?
