This was such a fun experience with @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social . Listen to me and @podsekalnikov.bsky.social discuss Simone Weil, abolishing political parties, and the possibility of hope in dark times.

"But to destroy cities, either materially or morally, or to exclude human beings from a city, thrusting them down to the state of social outcasts, this is to sever every bond of poetry and love between human beings and the universe." - SW "Forms of the Implicit Love of God" #philosophy #politics

Thanks to the association for core texts for an incredible conference in Madison! I’m especially grateful for the kind reception of my paper on the philosophy of Hamlet, the discussions around expanding and diversifying canonical texts, and some good old fashioned thinking about Plato.
