He details how a trip to Nigeria gave him insight into the real problems facing real people in oil-rich countries. Leif explains his effort to re-engage philosophy in the big issues of our day as Hobbes, Rousseau, Locke, Mill and Marx were in theirs. Corey asks whether Leif shares his view that analytic philosophy had become too divorced from wider intellectual life. They begin with memories of Leif and Corey’s mutual friend David Foster Wallace and end with a discussion of John Rawls and Robert Nozick (Wenar's thesis advisor at Harvard, and a friend of Steve's). Corey and Steve interview Leif Wenar, Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University and author of Blood Oil.
