This interview is part of the Institute's "Conversations with History" series, and uses Internet technology to share with the public Berkeley's distinction as a global forum for ideas.
Welcome to a Conversation with History. I'm Harry Kreisler of the Institute of International Studies. Our guest today is Martha C. Nussbaum, who is a philosopher, and the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago. She is on the Berkeley campus to deliver the 2006-2007 Forester Lectures. Professor Nussbaum has made significant contributions to an array of disciplines, working within the fields of philosophy, law, classics, and political science. She has advanced the interdisciplinary study of ongoing problems in such areas as cognition and emotions, feminism, democracy, religion, and education, among others. Some of her publications include Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions, Cultivating Humanity: A Classical Defense of Reform of Liberal Education, The Fragility of Goodness: Luck and Ethics in Greek Tragedy and Philosophy, and Women and Human Development: The Capabilities Approach.
