The recorded video conversation below with Professor Agnes Callard focuses on the experience of aspiration in life—what it means to aspire to a form of life beyond your current state. For many years this has been a topic of focal interest for me, so the recent publication of Callard’s book, Aspiration: The Agency of Becoming drew me into her readership immediately. Agnes Callard is a renowned scholar and thinker at the University of Chicago who writes with great insight and clarity. In addition to her books, she has written for the New York Times and the New York Review of Books, as well as other widely read publications.
She was the featured subject of an article in The New Yorker in March of 2023, titled “Agnes Callard’s Marriage of the Minds.”
