What are the ethics of making war? How does language hold meaning? Is freedom possible? These are only some of the questions addressed in this collection of interviews with some of the world's leading philosophers and intellectuals. The interviews cover a wide range of themes, including sex, religion, politics, language, consciousness, evil, feminism and art. They offer an insight into the minds behind the great ideas of today.
