1:50:05Now PlayingThe New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 190
What gets called Woke, especially on the Left, is a complete worldview (or ersatz theology) that therefore provides all the usual philosophical elements. It isn't just a way of knowing or of acting in the world; it is also a comprehensive theory of being in the world. Because Woke (especially on the Left) is critically constructivist in its underlying architecture, the self it believes in is a constructed self, or even a selfconstructed self. To highlight and explain this, in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us back into Joe Kincheloe's Critical ConstructivismA Primer ( ), which he calls "The Book of Woke" to discuss the idea of selfproduction in a Woke ontology. Join him to get yet another deep look at Woke as it was actually formulated by the people who believe it.
