An Interview with Dr Eileen John on the intersections in ethics and aesthetics and her arguments in ‘Artistic Value and Opportunistic Moralism’ and ‘Literature and the Idea of Morality’

For anybody interested, I recently finished editing an interview I conducted with Dr Eileen John of the Philosophy department at Warwick (which the ever-indispensable Mr Mannie Taur kindly stepped in to film for me at the last minute; perhaps this was the spark of inspiration for our show itself…?). Anyway, her primary research interests feed directly into the issues we occupy our attention with in Either/Or, and the interview may (hopefully) introduce a number of illuminating angles on the state of the debate and her own perspective on our topics. Check it out online here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/capital/osl/media/movies/

As usual all comments and queries are encouraged, but rest assured I am already aware of the avant-garde-amateurship apparent in certain aspects of the footage! The content of the interview is not covered by our current copyright, but some of the central ideas and opinions expressed are from published works, and thus her own intellectual property. Hers, you hear me!? Other than that, enjoy!

    Oh, the interview may be relocated at any point in the immediate future (as is perhaps evident, it doesn’t exactly epitomise the idea and excitement of ‘Open Space Learning’, unfortunately, and thus is merely using that site as a waiting room until its true home alongside more familial film-projects is found again). In the event that the link leads to nothing, let me know and I’ll retrieve the clip online or enter the new address. And let me know what you think afterwards.
