Ambivalent Marx

That was a bit of a surprise, although maybe it shouldn’t have been – this turned out to be the longest episode yet. But, then again, I tried my best on Marx and that wasn’t going to come easy. And, I tried to make some important point on tolerating ambivalence, which is really helpful when reading political theory and outright essential when living on planet Earth, which, I guess, most of my listeners do. As always, there is a page for the episode here and I welcome your comments very much, they really help to make the podcast better. For cheaters, Marx starts about 12 Minutes in – but you really should not miss those first twelve minutes ;-).

Truth Revisited

There is always more to say and sort through and this is my attempt to supplement the trilogy on truth with some ideas that might have remained shady, partly because I am not sure how much they are Arendt’s, Foucault’s or Havel’s. They might just be what I make of them. And seeing that this is 2026, which might turn out to be the craziest year I have lived through in a long time (at least 34 years), this episode might end up being all over the place. It is, however, very much thought-provoking. And that is what this is all about, after all.

As always, I have created a page with some resources, that might take your thoughts even further. Enjoy! And get back to me with comments, ideas and questions, please, I would love to make this even better.
