Episode #251 ... You Must Change Your Life, Pt. 2 - The Worlds That Make Us

B2Upper-intermediateAugust 8, 202635 min

Today we talk more about Peter Sloterdijk’s book You Must Change Your Life. We talk about Heidegger, the subject-object view of the world, how environments form us, symbolic immunity, modern cynicism, vertical tension, base camps, civilizations as collective immune systems, and why Sloterdijk thinks humanity may need a new form of co-immunity. Hope you love it. :) Sponsor: Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help. Website: https://www.philosophizethis.org/ <...
