This short video is from an extensive interview with Susan Neiman that adapts her book Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy, into a narrative film. We are building an interactive digital resource to showcase this film in its entirety and to foster collaboration and engagement with related resources and materials, as well as new interpretations.
