In this episode, we speak with Ronald Beiner, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. We discuss the philosophical roots of anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian movements and his 2018 book, Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right. Topics include the academic controversy that inspired the book, the conflicting uses of Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas, and the challenges of engaging with dangerous ideas without giving them undue legitimacy in the classroom and the public sphere.
