Professor Ellie Anderson, co-host of Overthink philosophy podcast, unpacks key ideas from philosopher Jürgen Habermas's 1983 piece "Philosophy as Stand-In and Interpreter," including his views of the roles that Immanuel Kant and Richard Rorty give to the discipline. What makes philosophy continually relevant in a world in which scientific advances have sometimes been touted as replacements for the ancient discipline of the love of wisdom? For the entire text, please see Habermas's book Moral Consciousness and Communicative Action.
