Stephen Hicks on Aesthetics, Modernism, and Postmodernism, Interviewed by Ryan Faulkner-Hogg

Long form interview.

Stephen Hicks is a professor of philosophy at Rockford University, author of many books and overall exceptionally deep thinking, kind and erudite man. His book, Explaining Postmodernism (https://amzn.to/2Gt7dHD) has gained in relevance over the last few years, Hicks was quite early in predicting the social significance Postmodernism would have upon the world. Plus, Hicks is an expert on Nietzsche and his book ‘Nietzsche and the Nazis’ (https://amzn.to/3ik6CFF) does a terrific job at analysing that fascinating time stamp of history.
