On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Linda Alcoff discuss the life and work of Charles Mills, a radical philosopher who made significant contributions to the methodology of political philosophy. Dr. Alcoff explores Mills' emphasis on the importance of understanding the historical and political context in which ideas are developed, arguing for a shift from ideal theory to non-ideal theory. She also highlights his discussion of the epistemology of ignorance, which examines the ways in which knowledge is shaped and limited by social and political factors. Additionally, Dr. Alcoff calls to attention the significance of Mills' focus on race and colonialism, along with his efforts to challenge misconceptions and exclusions within liberalism.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.
These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.
Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
