Content

Today we talk about the philosophical themes of one of Dostoevsky's most famous books: Notes From Underground. We talk about contemplative inertia, the "stone wall" of rationality, utopian socialism, the tension between love and freedom in the modern world, self-loathing as a defense mechanism, and much more. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Love you all,

Stephen

Hi, loved the exisode and your work all together.

I've been thinking of this episode since it originally aired and finally got my hands on Notes from Underground the other week. Since originally being introduced to it here, Dostoevsky's ideas have been very uncomfortable for me to sit with - no small part being that I've been working from home, while living alone for a year at this point. I'm finally over the threshold of changing jobs and have to attribute no small part of this change to the uncomfortable parts of this episode and to Stephen for introducing them. Thank you for creating and maintaining this venue Stephen!
