This episode is part 1 of an interview with political philosopher Sameer Bajaj. Sameer's research focuses on democracy and the duties of democratic citizens. In this part of the conversation, we discuss Sameer's path into philosophy, the books that every democratic citizen should read, and whether the US and the UK are actually democratic.
Come back next week for part 2 of our conversation, where we will discuss the best theoretical objections to democracy, the question of which protests are justified and much more.
