Sam Kimbriel

In a deep conversation with Elizabeth Oldfield, political philosopher Sam Kimbriel explores how nature influences our worldview and the loneliness epidemic gripping modern society. He emphasizes the profound value of vulnerable friendships and the necessity of engaging with our limitations. Kimbriel argues that philosophy should be accessible and relevant, especially post-COVID, serving as a tool for personal and societal growth. The discussion also highlights the transformative power of meaningful connections amidst a backdrop of individualism and superficial interactions.

Samuel Kimbriel, a WoC house philosopher, leads a dynamic discussion with political scientist Shadi Hamid and commentator Damir Marusic. They dive into the failures of liberalism and whether bad ideas or political strategies led to recent election setbacks. Kimbriel argues for a revitalized approach to liberalism that champions moral claims, while Marusic critiques rulership failures over ideological ones. Hamid mediates, underscoring the need for authenticity and emotional connection in politics, drawing parallels between present-day challenges and historical grievances.
