The first three episodes of this podcast completely changed the way I think and answered questions that went unresolved for over a decade.

I haven’t enjoyed a podcast this much in a long time. The production is simple but the content is incredibly substantial. Having been out of the academic world for a long time, I really enjoyed listening to a lecture in which the topics are engaged deeply and also personally. I love hearing from a philosopher who believes that philosophy matters.

This podcast leans spiritual for the person who approaches philosophy with the supposition philosophy should hinge on the purely logical. I think the first three episodes of this podcast articulate that mistake and discoloring of philosophy maybe best way I’ve ever heard from a living person. This podcast is a treasure to me. I beseech the professor for a podcast examining Simone Weil in the manner he does Kierkegaard. And in any case, to continue.
