This conversation is part of the 'Understanding Noam Chomsky' Series ('Dare to know!' Philosophy Podcast). Today we are joined by two guests, Carol Rovane & Akeel Bilgrami, both Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University.

Professor Rovane current research focuses on several interrelated topics: the first person, personal identity, relativism, the foundations of value, group vs. individual responsibility, and some new problems for liberal theory. She is the author of the books: ‘The Bounds of Agency: An Essay in Revisionary Metaphysics’ and ‘The Metaphysics and Ethics of Relativism’.

Professor Bilgrami has two relatively independent sets of intellectual interests--in the Philosophy of Mind and Language, and in Political Philosophy and Moral Psychology especially as they surface in politics, political economy, history, and culture. He is the author of several books including: ‘Belief and Meaning’, ‘Self Knowledge and Resentment’, & ‘Secularism, Identity, and Enchantment’.
