The Kershnar Controversy | Brain in a Vat

Описание к видео The Kershnar Controversy | Brain in a Vat

[UPDATE 3] We are saddened and disappointed to report that YouTube removed our interview with Stephen Kershnar for a second time, citing the same reason they gave last time it was removed.

We appealed, linking to the FIRE open letter citing the names of over 130 leading academics supporting Kershnar's academic freedom to discuss this topic.

YouTube rejected the appeal in under an hour, and will not allow any further appeals.

The video is gone.

However, you can listen to the full interview on our Podcast:

Thank you to all the academics and viewers who have supported us and Stephen through this controversy.


[UPDATE 2] After the Leiter Reports, The Daily Nous, and over 50 respected philosophers and professors signed FIRE's letter supporting Stephen Kershnar's academic freedom, YouTube has restored the original video. It is once again available to watch.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Stephen's academic freedom, and to our viewers and listeners for supporting Brain in a Vat.


[UPDATE 1] YouTube has removed the original interview with Stephen Kershnar. It is availble to listen to on our audio podcast https://anchor.fm/braininavat

We have launched an appeal to the YouTube decision. The appeal is worded as follows:

The video is an interview with tenured Professor of philosophy Stephen Kershnar. The material discussed relates to academic articles and books that he has written on the subject. https://philpeople.org/profiles/steph...

Two of the biggest philosophy blogs and the Academic Freedom Alliance have come out in defence of Prof Kershnar.

Clips from the video have been widely disseminated including on Fox News. It is prejudicial to Prof Kershnar if only those clips are publicly available.

We recently aired an episode with Stephen Kershnar on sexual taboos. A clip from that episode has been viewed over a million times on Twitter, and on many news channels. We address the controversy surrounding Stephen's position.
