Live Interview: Michael Steinberg
MP3 Audio Archive: Part 1 of 1)
Michael Steinberg, author and attorney, shares perspectives related to his book The Fiction of a Thinkable World (published by Monthly Review Press). Michael's book is a series of essays that provide an insightful clarification of the historical chain of events which have brought us to our current global situation. Michael's words point to the falacy of ideas which created and support our current social and economic practices. "In the culture of the modern West, we see ourselves as thinking subjects, defined by our conscious thought, autonomous and separate from each other and the world we survey. Current research in neurology and cognitive science shows that this picture is false. We think with our bodies, and in interaction with others, and our thought is never completed. The Fiction of a Thinkable World is a wide-ranging exploration of the meaning of this insight for our understanding of history, ethics, and politics."You can contact Michael via email at mlstein@rochester.rr.com.
