What Comes After Woke?

Questioning authority is a necessity for a functioning democracy. Continually calling power to account has to be a good thing, right? Maybe not, at least not all the time. So argues today’s guest, philosopher Mark Kingwell.


Have we let “speaking truth to power” degenerate into a Pavlovian response to any and all real, or merely perceived, sources of authority? Has this drive to habitually challenge institutions endangered politics, academia, science, and journalism?


Mark Kingwell joins Jesse to explore these questions which lay at the heart of his new book Question Authority.


Host: Jesse Brown
