Ep. 116 ‘Journal of Controversial Ideas’ with Prof. Peter Singer

Princeton Professor Peter Singer has been called “the world’s
most influential living philosopher.” But he may be as
controversial as he is influential. 


It’s perhaps fitting then that he is a founding editor of a new
academic publication called the Journal of Controversial Ideas.
The journal claims to be the world’s “first open access,
peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal specifically created to
promote free inquiry on controversial topics.”


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
are joined by Professor Singer to discuss the journal, academic
freedom, and his own personal brushes with controversy.
