Episode #191 ... The modern concentration camp and the failure of human rights. (Giorgio Agamben)

This podcast has become my walking companion.

Would love for an episode on Anarchism. Or 12 lmao! It would be wonderful to also engage some indigenous scholars!

I would love more Byung Chul Han and more Dostoevsky, Thank you, great show!

I love this show a lot, I listen on Spotify so I don’t usually get the chance to reply and tell you how much I appreciate it, but I wanted to come here to YouTube to tell you just that. Thank you for being my friend for 3 years. I’ve learned a lot.

I am in awe. West is one of the strongest working writers I have encountered. I am no expert on anything but I got more than 6,000 books at my finger tips. West is strong af.

I'm so excited for the anarchism (s) episodes. There's so many sects of anarchism though and it has such a complicated history, could be a whole series lol. Thanks so much for this wonderful episode.

Hey Stephen, just wanted to show some appreciation for your podcast here. I’m on episode #85, I started listening to this podcast on Spotify after experiencing a bad breakup that made me realise I needed to change and explore more avenues of knowledge to broaden my own perspective. Anyway, you mentioned how you did this podcast for good and only that, and I’m so glad you did. Listening to you talk about philosophy, reference your own life and come up with relatable analogies about philosophical topics really helped me achieve a better perspective on life in general. I’m deeply appreciative of the work you’re doing, thank you!

More Agamben, please!!

Ehat I really like, is how Agamben takes completely opposite view on something we all suppose to agree on, and unfolds it so you actually end up agreeing with him. I read couple of his books, and it was a real eye opener. Thanks for your summing up on him!

Those who are "just" don't need a "justice system." I'm about 3 minutes in. Great presentation.

More Agamben and MORE ANARCHY PLEASE!

Humanity is lost but I have much hope in mankind!

So interesting as always. You are so inspiring. Having studied philosophy myself and working in a totally different field this feels like a moment of relief. I cant wait for your episode on anarchy!

Loved this episode especially toward the end where you started to discuss schooling. It reminded me of a concept known as the banking model of education. It’s discussed in Paulo Freire’s book The Pedagogy of The Oppressed where it explores the student teacher relationship and relates those dynamics to the banking system while also illustrating how said dynamics serve dominate power structures. In fact, much of what you spoke about at that point are concepts expressed in his phenomenal, highly critical and important work. Please, please please do a series discussing his work!

I totally agree with Agamben! Great show!

Love your channel. I agree with Agamben; all of those example across the spectrum apply (Is), regardless of the reasons for doing it (Ought). Can't wait for the next episode: I'm already an anarchist, so can't wait to hear your perspective.

Bob Dylan said " You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" . The philosophy of personal sovereignty would be a great topic for you to cover

Great episode. 🩵 Would love one on anarchy!

I would really like more on Agamben

When are you writing a book?
