Episode 20: Death, Immortality, and Posthumanism (Death and Love: The Metaphysics of Communication - Christian Fuchs) (Part 2)
Manage episode 336898232 series 3259130
In our previous episode, we discussed historical views on death, the meaning of human existence, and death as a form of estrangement. Today, we pick up where we left off and analyse the grief and mourning that follows death. Fuchs also surprised us with some insightful sections on immortality and posthumanism that we had an absolute blast discussing. Don't miss this one!
Considering the length and density of the discussion, the episode has been divided into sections according to the structure of the essay itself, the timestamps to which are below:
Part 1: 1:10
Part 2: 39:05
Part 3: 61:10
We hope you enjoy this one; it was a satisfyingly tough nut to crack.
"The only hopeful counterpart to death is love as the principle of human sympathy and as the social principle of socialism".
