Yay! Also.. just wanted to say that I wore my Thales t-shirt to work the other night and a customer recognised it, we talked about your podcast and he invited me to the local library monthly 'philosophy talk' thing they've got goin' on there. This is in the most isolated city in the world btw - you've reached far 😃

Listening from Taiwan! You always say thank you to us. Well, thank you back at ya for making all our lives better and fuller by sharing your knowledge and perspectives with us, Stephen!

Tony Marshall

Hey man. You take your time. I'm here for the quality. It will be enjoyed and contemplated whenever. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Todd Cooper

Thank you. I look forward to listening. I enjoy your work.

Nitin Khanna

I was wondering where you disappeared! Thanks for this new episode!

“Comparability” brings to my mind Isaiah Berlin’s statement (somewhere) (I read Berlin a long time ago) that a life of reflection eventually brings one to a stance of “spirited pessimism.” I forget his elaboration on this but I remember mine: the world is swirling down the drain, a darkling plain where ignorant armies clash by night, but isn’t it pleasant here by the fire with an interesting book teaching me all sorts of nice things and a nice cup of tea?

Dimitri Lundquist

Thank you! I was so excited to listen to this one, and it was fantastic. Love James' Healthy Minded and Sick Soul distinction. Sick Souls unite!

Chris Lovell

Thank you Stephen, I can see that you pour so much into each podcast. I enjoy each one and it sends me off exploring the ideas you describe and share. Next on my reading list is William James now.... Thank you

This was a really great Podcast. I like the ones where you talk in depth about the famous philosophers. I read William James’s Varieties of Religious Experience and I never caught the point about the weakness of the healthily souls in times when life is really hard. That is very interesting.

Saku Mantere

Your work is so inspirational, Stephen! I look forward to every episode.

Laura Streets

Wonderful episode! Thank you Stephen 😊 Hope you’re feeling better.

The Doodle Abides

Great episode 👍It would be fun to follow this up with some social criticisms by Rorty (PHL of Social Hope or Achieving our Country)

Any chance for Georg Lukacs?
