Bryan Van Norden is interviewed about his new book Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto by Dan Kaufman. Some of the topics:

• Just how Euro-centric are American philosophy departments, anyway?
• Is racism baked into Western philosophy?
• A brief account of Western dalliances with Eastern thought
• Why new movements in philosophy must kill their ancestors
• Why do philosophy departments stay white? Subtle self-selection, Bryan says
• Is philistinism killing philosophy as a discipline?
