| Paul Ricoeur on Freud's Psychology of Religion | 29 Dec 2024 | ||
In this episode we discuss a few sections in Ricoeur's collection of essays titled "The Conflict of Interpretation". We discuss why Ricoeur sees Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud as masters of suspicion and how that should help us think about religion, ourselves, and our modern world.

| Max Stirner's The Unique and Its Own, Deep Dive Part 2 | 07 Oct 2024 | ||
We begin this episode going over Stirner’s critique of philosophers and the Enlightenment. It’s important to keep in mind that whatever problem he has with religion, he also has that problem with people too focused on thinking or capital T truth. As he says, a shout or a jump is as good at relieving anxiety as studying any book. We also look at the overlap in thought between Stirner and Foucault, Gabriel Marcel, Freud, and Girard. For example, both Stirner and Marcel think you should not ask what are humans? You should ask: who am I? And regarding connections between Girard and Stirner, we look at the human propensity to always create a sacred and always let our desires overtake us. We end the episode reflecting on what is sacred today? What do we let dominate us? And what is our scapegoat? 00:04:10 Stirner’s Critique of Philosophy and the Enlightenment 00:28:25 Connections between Stirner and Foucault, Marcel, Freud, and Girard. 01:30:45 Stirner’s Stoicism and our Contemporary World | |||
