In this episode, I talk with Tyrique Mack-Georges, a PhD student in philosophy at Penn State, about the deep connections between Frantz Fanon and Jean-Paul Sartre. We explore how both thinkers help us understand the systemic nature of racism, the power of language in maintaining or challenging colonial systems, and Fanon’s vision of a new humanism.
Tyrique shares how his Caribbean background shapes his philosophical journey and how Fanon reworked Sartre’s existentialism to illuminate what it means to become fully human in a world structured by domination.
🎧 A thoughtful conversation on philosophy, race, and the ongoing project of liberation.
