Richard Kearney Talks with Brian O Donovan About His New Book, Touch
Richard Kearney holds the Chair of Philosophy at Boston College. Originally from Cork (like Brian O Donovan), he is the author of over 24 books on European philosophy and literature (including two novels and a volume of poetry) and has edited or co-edited 21 more.
His new book is called Touch, published this February. While its timing is a coincidence, such a subject during a worldwide pandemic and our social isolation, makes it a topical issue indeed.
Host Brian O Donovan caught up with Professor Kearney last week via Zoom. The edited conversation and article is above. You can listen to the full conversation below.
