EPISODE DESCRIPTION
James Lindsay is an author & researcher. I've been exposed the words Social Justice Warrior, Wokeness and Post Modernism a lot over the last year, but I don't really have a strong grasp on their origins or where they came from. Thankfully James is the perfect man to explain them to us as he's spent much of his recent career diving head first into the academic literature which underpins these movements.

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring James Lindsay and Chris Williamson, James Lindsay | Social Justice Explained: The Foundations Of Wokeness | Modern Wisdom Podcast 124 explores James Lindsay Dissects Critical Theory, Social Justice, And Woke Ideology James Lindsay explains critical theory as a worldview that interprets all social relations through power dynamics and focuses on uncovering and dismantling perceived injustices in systems, rather than understanding how those systems work. He contrasts this with traditional theory and Enlightenment-style critical thinking, arguing that critical theory functions like a powerful solvent: useful in limited, careful applications but destructive when spread everywhere.
