Hello everyone!


Let me know what you think of this kind of episode. Would love to do more like this, but I also want to give the people what they want. 

Hope you are all great. Llamas are still not real, apparently. I'm working on it.

Couldn't listen to this one, although I wait impatiently for new episodes :( I read this book when I was too young, I hated it. I will try to go beyond my little trauma later..

David Osborn

Living in Amsterdam, being a cultural refugee from the United States, and having drunk in the bars here, your skillful presentation brought the subject to bear.

I think I’m a bit late commenting on this, but I can’t really convey how much I loved this one. I’v listened to the audiobook of The Fall multiple times and I loved how well you explained and unpacked everything Stephen! Great job. I look forward to more from Camu on your show…

Jacob Gibson

This was a great episode! I'm excited for the next one

Gary Litman

Stephen, it is an excellent episode. Thank you for the irrepressible quality of your presentations and the choice of the subject matter.

Sam Sowell

Thoroughly enjoyed. Ever thought of doing a book club?

Teijo Aflecht

I love Camus but have not read The Fall so this is perfect. Going to comment more after listening to the episode.

September Lorena

The notification for these episodes is a feeling I look forward to so much. Gin is disgusting and Llamas are sheep in disguise, those sneaky, sneaky 'llamas'. Great episode as usual, Stephen. Worth 20+ re-listens like all of them.

Gordon Muir

Great content Stephen, but I don't have a lot of time to sit by my computer. Is there a way we can download these so I can listen to them on a flashdrive in my car?

Michael Wray

I absolutely get excited every time a new episode is released. This one is as great as the rest. Personally would love to hear more about the ethics of care but whatever content gets you excited to make more episodes is probably the best content since the quality is already guaranteed.

Thomas Lucey

Always excited to get the notification for your podcast! Love the longer run time as well.

GABRIELA RODRIGUEZ

Loved loved the episode. Really excited to hear you talk about books. I second the idea of a book club. I also agree with whatever gets you excited because quality is a guarantee. That said, I'm a fan of theology debates!

Ahmed M.

Thank you Stephen! I think this episode was another level of excellence. It really touched the malaise of the modern person. Bravo once again, and looking forward to the next ones!

Donna Ablaseau

I really enjoyed the episode and the call back to the rift between Sartre and Camus. Now I have to get my hands on *The Fall* and read/listen to the book!

Robert Toland

Great episode Stephen! Thoroughly enjoyed it, planning on reading The Fall soon now. Can't wait for the next episode!

Khemith

Very good introduction to the book.

X Perez

Personally not a huge fan of Camus but you made it enjoyable and informative anyways, I might even consider reading The Fall soon. Thanks for yet another great episode, keep up the great work as always!

Eric Smedberg

What I think of the episode: Fantastic! Please do more like this!!

Dorothy Lichtenstein

Am I the only person that found your presentation hilarious despite self-recognition?

James Valaitis

I loved this episode. The idea of Camus criticising today's activists is hilarious.

Hermione Warr

I really enjoyed this! The Fall sounds interestingly similar to Father Sergius written by Tolstoy. Would you ever do an episode on Tolstoy in your creation of meaning series? He was very good at searching for meaning although not so good at finding it! However I think he very clearly illustrates a lot of the struggle of grappling with the accursed questions. It would be hard to label him as a philosopher perhaps but hard to label him as anything really. Great episode as usual, thanks! 😊

Rockwell Gulassa

Seeing a notification of a new episode of my favorite podcasts, especially this one because it doesn’t have a regular release time, dramatically improves my mood in an almost magical way. I really liked this sort of book report format, I wouldn’t want every episode to be like that obviously but honing in on a particular work allows for a deeper exploration of the form in addition to the content than you can get trying to summarize or reference them. I also liked the longer episode, I am all for longer episodes if you think you can fit more good stuff in there. I’d love to hear you talk about Bataille or Levinas, not a lot of good content out there on them and I think you could make really interesting episodes with their ideas

Arkarup Basu Mallik

This podcast is life altering. Can you make an episode on Bertrand Russell?

Brian Hodgert

This episode cut me open and stitched me up. Thanks.

Joe Beaulieu

That was great. I know of no better compliment than to say, I've bought the book and will read it next.

The Doodle Abides

Thanks, I enjoyed this podcast more than the text. For anyone who wanted a similar "psychological contradiction" kind of book check out "notes from the underground"

Anthony Reichenbach

I love Camus, he has been probably the most life/reality-changing thinker for me (and I'm sure, many other anxious people). I owned, but had not yet read The Fall. Seeing this podcast come out, I just had to read it before I listened. I loved it, and I loved the podcast on it! Listening after reading helped me run it all through my head again in a more succinct way, and helped solidify the takeaways that I will use in future when discussing ~deep~ topics with friends! So glad you posted this, and I read and listened. I think I find The Fall even more inspiring and insightful than The Stranger, to be honest. It was amazing how much I could see myself in Clemance, but I could also see how others could see themselves in him too. I definitely loved this episode, and am highly supportive of more like this! I should also add, I find reflecting through allegories/fiction really useful, and it helps contextualize the more direct, concrete works. Episodes like this from time to time, help people like me! Thank you Stephen!

Ido Nissim

Loved the episode, Stephen! However, it left me wondering something I hope I can convey properly - is the 'flexibility' in values being advocated by Camus something that can be extrapolated into a society level? One might argue that our societal control systems (such as government, laws, judiciary system) are morally rigid. How would introducing flexibility there look like? As always, can't wait for the next episode.

Tifany Lim

Thank you for posting this! Have always been a Camus fan and can't get more excited every time I see his name on your episodes :)

Bjørn Ellingsen

Excellent episode. I must admit how you make these lectures current.

Rob Atkins

Loved this one! I was introduced to Camus through The Fall in my 20th century Europe class in college. My prof pointed out the parallels to Nazi occupied France, of which Camus was of course a citizen, and it's passive complicity in the Holocaust. Really loved your illustration of how moral absurdity applies to everyone.

Bára Mikovcová

Amazing episode! I still wonder how much philosophy and psychology mingle... I only read The Stranger but after listening to this episode, I really need to read The Fall too. And.. Thanks for making me think more openly today than I did yesterday.

Stephen C

Thanks for the episode. Before this episode I had not read the Fall. Technically I still haven't but listened to an Audio version narrated by Edoardo Ballerini. Good audiobook and i got more out of it thanks to this episode.

David Puffer

Absolutely brilliant Stephen. Sheds light on white liberal hypocrisy (myself a white liberal): speaking out while being complicit in and benefiting from this or that system. I kept thinking of Sartre as you were referencing & talking ab The Fall. I love Sartre but love this critique of him as well. Already shared it w friends. Keep it up
