The Death of Liberalism w/ Philip Pilkington
Conversations with Peter Boghossian
Is liberalism collapsing under the weight of its contradictions? In this Conversation with Peter Boghossian, Peter sits down with economist and political thinker Philip Pilkington to examine the unraveling of liberalism, not as a policy failure, but as a philosophical dead end.

GUARDRAILS for Campus Speech? w/ Dr. Patrick Gray
Conversations with Peter Boghossian
I had a fascinating conversation with , Dean of the Center for Arts and Letters and Professor of Literature at the University of Austin (UATX). We spoke about issues of free speech as they pertain to college campuses. Patrick brings a nuanced perspective: He’s a defender of free speech but insists it needs guardrails.
