Shownotes Transcript

Noel Pearson is one of Australia’s foremost indigenous leaders and political activists. He titled his first Quarterly Essay, Radical Hope, explicitly referring to the work of the renowned philosopher and psychoanalyst Jonathan Lear of the same title.

What is recognition? What kind of acknowledgement is involved? How does recognition affect the identities of both sides?

Noel Pearson and Jonathan Lear discuss the constitutional, philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives of the complex question of recognition of indigenous peoples.
