About this episode
It isn't hard to find a right-wing critique of woke ideology. It is much more difficult to find left-leaning thinkers coming out in opposition to the woke dogma that has superseded traditional, social democratic principles in most western centre-left political parties. This is why Susan Neiman’s new book, ‘Left is not Woke’ is such an important contribution to the public debate.
Susan is one of the world’s most renowned and respected living philosophers. She currently resides in Germany where she is the Director of the Einstein Forum. She’s also a self-described socialist, and she’s set out to separate 'wokeism' from the historic principles of the left.
