Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

So for today's episode we're going to actually do a bit of a crossover with our sister

podcast Red Menace.

The reason it's a crossover is because it's sort of a traditional Rev Left Radio interview

style show, unlike Red Menace which is you know me and Allison Escalante tackling texts

and explaining it and applying its lessons etc.

But I did do this interview with Allison, my co-host for Red Menace.

And so we both go back and forth asking Jay Mouthwatt Paul different questions about his

book De-Markation and De-Mistification Philosophy and its limits.

So it will appear on both feeds but you know we wanted to sort of do a crossover between

the two shows as we usher into 2020 and so the only thing different for Rev Left listeners

is that Allison will join me as a co-host and we will both go back and forth asking JMP

questions about this text.

So again this text is about philosophy, it's about you know Marxism, it's about science

and the role that philosophy plays in relation to science, it's about theory and practice

and philosophy, what makes theory different from philosophy etc.

So it can be sort of challenging especially for those who don't have sort of rigorous

philosophical training on some levels but on other levels it's also really accessible

and at the very least will challenge people who don't have that formal training into maybe

pursuing more of it or reading this book itself etc.

So no matter if you're sort of a philosophy veteran or completely novice when it comes

to philosophy this interview may be challenging but it's still accessible and so is the book.
