  • Episode #228 ... Albert Camus - Kafka and The Fall
    May 12 2025
    Today we talk about Camus' book The Fall and what the main character represents in his larger project. We also talk about someone Camus deeply admired, Franz Kafka, and how to think of the images he created in his work. We talk about the experience of the modern individual in relation to politics. We also talk about what Camus and Kafka disagreed on. Hope you love it. :) Sponsor: Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Thank you so much for listening!

  • Episode #227 ... Albert Camus - On Exile
    Apr 18 2025
    Today we talk about the concept of exile from the work of Camus. We focus on a couple stories from his book Exile and The Kingdom. We talk about why Camus insists that true lucidity can only arise from the jarring lived experience he calls “exile,” not from armchair reflection. We talk about Janine’s desert epiphany in “The Adulterous Woman.” We talk about school‑teacher Daru in “The Guest,” trapped between France and Algeria, whose double exile shows how history can choose for us. We talk about the everyday escape hatches—nostalgia, comfort contracts, curated news bubbles—that let people dodge exile until reality blindsides them. Hope you enjoy it! :) Sponsors: ZocDoc: https://www.ZocDoc.com/PHILO Incogni: https://www.Incogni.com/philothis Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help.

  • Episode #226 - Albert Camus - The Rebel
    Apr 4 2025
    Today we talk about Camus’ concept of rebellion and how it offers a powerful alternative to abstract ideologies. We talk about solidarity as the foundation for justice without systems. We talk about the death penalty as a symbol of premeditated murder disguised as virtue. We talk about rebellion as something closer to art than politics—an act rooted in experience, defined by limits, and carried out with sincerity.

Best way to start your philosophy journey

Start at the beginning and hit play, that's all!

Stephen West, if you're reading this, your show is exceptional. please don't stop, even if we get hit by an apocalypse! (speaking of, please make an episode on apocalyptic societal philosophy/structures)

my favourite way to enjoy this podcast was by going for late night walks with my dog while listening to this. Excellent examples, great dissection of the literature and teaches you how thinking has changed over Millenia. I came with an open mind, and left with a full one, motivated to continue my pursuit in philosophy. I've recommended this to many people IRL.
