Nozick Third Ch. 8 Recording for Substack Philosophy Class for Paid Subscribers

Do symphony orchestras really demonstrate that workplace subordination isn't degrading, Nozick? Also, let's talk about the Prisoners' Dilemma!

Here’s the recording for the twenty-second session of our Substack philosophy class for paid subscribers. We read the “Meaningful Work” and “Workers’ Control” sections of Ch. 8 of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Next time we’ll read the “Marxian Exploitation” section, so that should be a fun one. After that, we should be able to wrap up the book in three more sessions (one to finish out Ch. 8 and one each on Chs. 9 & 10) and then we can move on to reading G.A. Cohen’s response-book Self-Ownership, Freedom, and Equality. Oh, and here’s the Substack I mentioned at the end (“Walter Block and the Prisoner’s Dilemma”). Finally, remember that this and all the previous class recordings so far can be found here.
