Exploring the Relationship Between Theory and Praxis

Eric Santner joined Coop and Tay for a really lovely discussion on a life in theory. We weave in Eric's latest book, Untying Things Together: Philosophy, Literature, and a Life in Theory and My Own Private Germany: Daniel Paul Schreber's Secret History of Modernity. Schreber is the backdrop for this look at what a body and what theory can do. Eric L. Santner is an American scholar. He is Philip and Ida Romberg Professor in Modern Germanic Studies, and Chair, in the Department of Germanic Studies, at the University of Chicago, where he has been based since 1996.
