German Philosophy Is Difficult To Understand: November 2021 Recap
About this episode
This recap was supported with the help of Petar the slav, many thanks for the boostagrams!
Well I tried my best to understand what the Germans think about life but it wasn't too successful. I found the writing of Nietzsche and Heidegger to be quite obscure and didn't really learn anything from them. I did have fun diving into the Dune world though, just in time to see the upcoming movie. Juan enjoyed reading (as much as one can) about the story of The Tattooist Of Auschwitz and I reveal some of the upcoming books that will appear in December.
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
