Additional Information

Just curious as I'm sure he would have had a lot to say considering his emphasis on the first Gulf War in his lectures.

Philosophy dragged kicking and screaming into the real world. not surprised to hear that that Rick Roderick s human values lectures on VHS were the most popular in the history of academia ! Please maintain this website as long as possible
- Anonymous February 7, 2024 at 9:20 am on 307 Derrida and the Ends of Man (1993)Looking from today, although how optimist Derrida's claims may sound, the consequences are rather drastically bad. Apparently, the left politics in 1st world has aligned itself largely with the fundamentals of Derrida's claims on the lack of "right interpretation". In my opinion, losing this anchor point effectively shatters the ground

- Philipp December 2, 2023 at 6:58 pm on AboutI love Rick's lectures. Would it be possible to also upload audio files of the lectures? Maybe even as a Podcast so it's available on podcast apps? That would make it much easier to listen to them on the phone while commuting^^
