This title features the recovered and re-edited transcript of a 1998 conversation between artist Adrian Piper and philosopher Peter Osborne at Jerry’s restaurant in Soho, New York.

As Piper describes it: “Our conversation is wide-ranging—from the genesis, definition, and art-historical impact of early Conceptual art; to Minimalism; to historical revisionism; to the political turn that we all took; to the relation between methodological individualism and the explanation of xenophobia; to metaphysical emergence and reduction in scientific explanation; to metaphysical explanation in Kant, Hegel, and Vedic philosophy more generally; and more. The dialogical style is fast-paced, argumentative, good-natured, and civilized (an unusual combination). It is clear that we were both having a really good time, plus the food at Jerry’s was great.”
