For Episode 9, I am joined by Dr. Richard A. Lee to talk about aruveillance, trolling, forgiveness/absolution, and  “Shut Up and Dance,” (Season 3, Episode 3 of Black Mirror), which first premiered in 2013. 

“Shut Up and Dance” is one of only a handful of Black Mirror episodes that does not include any futuristic technology, so it really is a commentary on what could happen (and is happening) in our lives right now.

Rick Lee (@rickleephilos) is a Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University and a very, very dear friend of mine. He teaches and works in the areas of Medieval and early modern philosophy, the Frankfurt School, and social and political philosophy. His recent published work includes The Force of Reason and the Logic of Force (Palgrave-St. Martin’s, 2002), and Science, the Singular, and the Question of Theology (Palgrave-St. Martin’s, 2002), The Thought of Matter: Materialism, Conceptuality, and the Transcendence of Immanence (Rowman & Littlefield, 2015), as well as essays in journals such as Telos, Hobbes Studies, Vivarium, and The Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal. Rick is currently working on an introduction to the philosophy of comedy, which he assures me is not funny.
