Thank you

Great readings of Mouffe. Much appreciated for sharing!

Excellent exploration of big political ideas.

Was looking for someone who engages with the communitarian critique and I think I’ve hit the jackpot. I hope she keeps looking at other communitarian thinkers like Charles Taylor, and I’d especially like a commentary on Michael Walzer’s Spheres of Justice.

Important ideas

A podcast that covers a lot of important ideas with intellectual rigor but without the academic parlance
