Berkeley Film Friends will have a free public screening of the 2010 documentary film Examined Life (http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/examinedlife/), in which filmmaker Astra Taylor has conversations with eight leading contemporary philosophers, on different contemporary issues, in different contemporary settings:
• Judith Butler with Sunaura Taylor on interdependence, in San Francisco's Mission district;
• Kwame Anthony Appiah on cosmopolitanism, at Toronto's airport;
• Michael Hardt on revolution, in a rowboat in Central Park;
• Martha Nussbaum on justice, on Chicago's lake shore;
• Avital Ronell on meaning, in New York's Tompkins Square Park;
• Slavoj Žižek on ecology, at a London garbage dump;
• Peter Singer on ethics, among fast-food joints and high-end shops of Manhattan;
• Cornel West on truth, in a cab being driven through Manhattan.
