About this episode
In this episode, I speak to Simon Critchley, the author of Bald: 35 Philosophical Shortcuts. Simon is the Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. His work engages in many areas from continental philosophy, ethics, philosophy and literature, and psychoanalysis, among others.
In this interview, Simon and I discuss:
- How to find happiness
- How to think about hope
- How certainty is the enemy of faith
- How to navigate life and much more
