Description
Peter speaks to the philosopher Al Lingis about what we can learn by looking and the ethics of seeing. Described as one of the most original voices alive today in American philosophy, Al is a keen photographer, and many of his essays are accompanied by his own images. During the episode Al describes the significance of photography to the development of his own philosophical thinking. Whilst a distinguished philosopher in his own right, he is also a translator of French philosophers including Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas.
