Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting sections four and five with philosophical precision and relatable humor. Building on Spooner's radical claim that the U.S. Constitution was never a binding contract, Drake explores what truly defines consent under natural law, examining why writing, signing, and delivery are essential for legitimacy. Using vivid examples and biblical parallels, he unpacks how even everyday receipts and legal signatures reflect the moral order embedded in human nature. Along the way, Jonathan weaves in live chat commentary, Nietzsche quotes, and a playful nod to comedian Mitch Hedberg to highlight the absurdity of modern governance. From Spooner's critique of government authority to Drake's reflections on morality, faith, and free will, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “consent to be governed.”
What if your mental struggle isn't a personal failure, but a logical reaction to a broken society?This week on A Mental Health Break, we are joined by poet, playwright, Yale graduate, and cultural critic D.C. Copeland, author of the forthcoming book, Societal Dropout: A Culture Manifesto for the New Millennium. D.C. brings a unique, potent voice to the show, leveraging the philosophy of Jung, Freud, and Nietzsche to dissect our modern anxieties.In this profound and provocative discussion, we dive deep into:The Societal Roots of Illness: We tackle the core question: How do we fundamentally remove the negative stigmatization about mental illness by shifting the focus from individual flaw to systemic failure?The Millennial Divide: D.C. offers a compelling analysis of the generation caught between extremes—why are Millennials either doing incredibly well or struggling with housing insecurity, and what does this financial anxiety do to their mental health?Gender and Constraint: We dissect a powerful quote from D.C.'s book: "My experience of the feminine is one of deep pain and glorious power." We explore how rigid gender constraints limit not only art, but the soul, and why finding power requires creating outside those boundaries.Life Beyond the Line: D.C. defines what "dropping out of society" truly means—is it a physical exit, or a necessary philosophical break to protect your well-being?If you've ever felt that you don't fit into the demands of modern life, this episode is your permission slip to rethink the system and prioritize your own mental freedom.Find D.C. Copeland's upcoming book, Societal Dropout: A Culture Manifesto for the New Millennium, on Amazon today.Support the showHave a question for the host or guest? Want their freebee?

durée : 00:03:51 - Le Fil philo - Pendant un spectacle ou face à une œuvre d'art, qui n'a jamais été tenté de sortir son téléphone pour immortaliser ce moment, au risque de passer à côté de l'expérience ? Car pour le philosophe Nietzsche, une forme d'ivresse de l'art ne peut être capturée par un écran. - réalisation : Anna Holveck
Historian Charles H. Kahn wrote that Pythagorean contributions to Western thought were "on the one hand, a mathematical understanding of the world of nature; and, on the other hand, a conception of human destiny that points beyond the visible world and beyond the mortal body to a higher form of life." Unfortunately, for the following 2,500 years, we took the first part: logic and reason, and largely discarded the other: intuition and imagination. Or, as Nietzsche put it in The Birth of Tragedy, we chose to rely heavily on our Apollonian side (yang) while neglecting our Dionysian side (yin). And here we are, in a world of contradictions which are becoming ever more acute with the astounding recent advancements of Artificial Intelligence, which is of course based on numbers (in fact, it was Pythagoras who said, "everything known is a number"). How do we go back to the Pythagorean tradition? How do we restore balance between Apollo and Dionysus? On this special evening, we will attempt to do just that. We will start with a talk by Edward Frenkel, mathematician, Berkeley professor, and author of Love and Math (currently out in 20 languages) who considers himself a Pythagorean. He will provide the context and the background. His talk will be followed by a ceremony, administered not by a priest or shaman but, as is more common these days, by DJs. During the dance party following Edward Frenkel's talk, DJ Wilder (Anna Fedorova) will dazzle us with music sourced from different genres and epochs, followed by Edward Frenkel himself (as DJ Moonstein) playing back-to-back with Cihat Fitzgerald (DJ Chi) taking us further into the unknown. Magic awaits. A Humanities Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.

Under the sign of the Vicious Circle, Nietzsche attempts to inaugurate a conspiracy. But how can this view of the Eternal Return - as part of his project of the revaluation - square with the "high tonality of the soul" in which it was first revealed? Pierre Klossowski argues, convincingly, that the Eternal Return makes all meaning and goal into an absurdity, offering a picture of a world in which nothing can be completed, and everything that is accomplished must be re-accomplished. Nietzsche's later use of the Eternal Return in order to fight gregarious values and win a victory on the side of the healthy impulses can only be a conscious deception. Following the "prejudices of his sentiments", Nietzsche forgets the inherent goallessness demanded by the Return, and seizes upon the powerful sign of the vicious circle, to pursue a great and arbitrary goal.
In this episode, David and Orah unpack the rise of meanness in our culture, inspired by David Brooks' How America Got Mean (The Atlantic).

In his latest book, Lawrence Grossberg describes ways of thinking that have laid the foundation for the development of contemporary Western theory. Two of the thinkers he writes about are Friedrich Nietzsche, who “rejected the enlightenments,” and Stuart Hall, a pioneer in the field of cultural studies. (Encore presentation.) Lawrence Grossberg, On the Way to Theory Duke University Press, 2024 (Image on main page by Nick Youngson/Alpha Stock Images.) The post Nietzsche, Hall, and “Theory” appeared first on KPFA.
Welcome to season 6! Part I of III. In this first episode, we'll lay the groundwork for Klossowski's critical reading of Nietzsche, beginning with the material from the first two chapters. Klossowski applies Nietzsche's own methodology to Nietzsche's works, and reads his philosophy as a sign-language of impulses. The valetudinary states that dominated Nietzsche's life are reinterpreted in a radical way, with Klossowski's assertion that Nietzsche oftentimes saw thought as a source of suffering, and sided with the "attacks" of his body against the conscious, rational agent.
Synchronicity – Love and MiraclesWhat if the people you meet, and even the dreams that visit you, aren't coincidences at all? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, The Dragon takes you inside a true story from his upcoming book Makes Sense, where fate, love, and the mysterious “Omen Frequency” converge in a moment that defies logic. After seven years alone, JC meets the woman who will change everything, and discovers that the daughter he's been dreaming of for years already exists in her life. Through this unbelievable encounter, he explores how life's hidden patterns reveal themselves when we finally tune into the frequency beneath the noise. This episode is a meditation on faith, timing, and the awareness that turns randomness into revelation. Because love and miracles aren't found, they're noticed. Welcome to the uprising of the sleepwalking masses, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Finding Superman: How Did Humanity Get So Soft? Somewhere along the way, humanity traded its hunger for comfort—and in doing so, tamed the tiger within. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick (The Dragon) takes you on a journey from the streets of post-earthquake Haiti to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring how society, culture, and convenience have softened our edge, silenced our will to power, and lulled us into complacency. Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, you'll rediscover Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch—the human who dares to rise above conformity, reclaim meaning, and say yes to life even in the storm. This is not about judgment. It's about remembering who we are, what we're capable of, and what it takes to awaken the untamed creator within. Because the world doesn't need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger's still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense?

The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year, multidisciplinary initiative exploring consciousness and its role in reality. Mind-at-Large seeks to expand this paradigm - investigating the mind's presence across scales, from quantum systems and living organisms to ecosystems and the cosmos itself. This series examines ideas such as panpsychism, pantheism, idealism, 4E cognition, animism, perspectivism, and non-human intelligence, while also engaging with extraordinary phenomenologies found in psychedelic experiences, mystical states, and anomalous consciousness.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) – Introduction: The Mind-at-Large Project – Consciousness Beyond the Brain(02:30) – Setting the Stage: Bridging Science, Philosophy & Mysticism(06:10) – What Does “Mind-at-Large” Mean?

What does it mean to speak of eternity? Is eternity best understood as infinite time, stretching endlessly forward and backward, or as something wholly outside of time—a changeless, timeless "eternal now"? In this episode, the hosts wrestle with these competing conceptions, drawing on philosophy, theology, and personal experience to ask whether eternity is a thinkable concept or a regulative ideal forever beyond our grasp.The discussion ranges from Aristotle's view of time as the measure of motion to medieval analogies of rivers and "standing nows," from Aquinas's theology of resurrected bodies to Nietzsche's dark thought of the eternal return. The hosts consider whether eternity should be tied to perfection, necessity, or redemption, and explore whether such ideas have anything to offer our day-to-day human lives.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/eternity---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes when Season 14 begins in September!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Podcast on Patreon here!

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Today we talk about two famous critiques of Stoicism. One by Friedrich Nietzsche who thought the Stoics weren't life affirming enough and so rob themselves of some of the best parts of life. The other by Arthur Schopenhauer who thought the Stoics were too life-affirming of worldly things to ever reach a deep understanding of things.

Because the world doesn't need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger's still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense?

Saudações pessoas! Saudações espíritos livres!Chegou a hora de falar de filosofia na veia no Vira! E ninguém melhor que o professor e pesquisador Renato Levin Borges, também conhecido na cena como Nietzsche 4 Speed, ou simplesmente Judz.Com amplo trânsito nas áreas de filosofia e educação e todo um trabalho desenvolvido na questão da radicalização das novas (velhas...) extremas direitas, Judz manda brasa num papo fortíssimo conosco, que perpassa a questão dos desafios que temos nesses campos para enfrentar a avalanche de problemas que assolam nossa realidade social, política, cultural e afetiva.No cardápio, radicalização incel de jovens, falta de apelo aos afetos na política, um Deleuze aqui, um Foucault ali, três colheres de sopa de Marx e, principalmente, Nietzsche a gosto!

"God Is Dead!" - How Nietzsche's Shocking Legacy Impacts Our Culture In this eye-opening episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, Dr. Greg Ganssle unpacks Friedrich Nietzsche's life, from his tragic youth to his "death of God" declaration and the Übermensch vision. Through a Christian lens, explore how his ideas fuel today's relativism, mental health crises, and quest for self-made meaning—contrasting it with Jesus' abundant life. Discover why Nietzsche's warnings about nihilism echo in our chaotic world, and find why his ideas lead to hopelessness while Christ gives true hope.

The French philosopher Montaigne made the exploration of selfhood the most important thing in his life. How does his project compare to today's version of self-fashioning?
Cette semaine, dans le magazine IDÉES, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit Sophie Nordmann. Philosophe et professeure agrégée de philosophie. Elle vient de publier un essai intitulé : « La vocation de philosophe, puissance de la mise en question » (Calmann-Lévy) dans les pages duquel elle explique que, selon elle, cet amour de la sagesse n'a pas pour vocation de produire des savoirs, mais de les bousculer. Elle en parle avec passion et précision dans l'émission. « Comment ne pas suffoquer quand l'air est irrespirable ? Où reprendre son souffle quand l'atmosphère est saturée ? La pensée, elle aussi, a besoin de respirer pour se maintenir vivante », écrit Sophie Nordmann, alors elle propose une conception audacieuse du rôle de la philosophie dans notre monde contemporain. Loin d'être une simple discipline académique, la philosophie y est présentée comme une pratique vivante de la mise en question, un geste qui libère la pensée des carcans idéologiques et des dogmatismes du moment. Professeure à l'École pratique des Hautes Études, à Paris, référence dans sa spécialité, l'auteure qui nous parle au micro avec une grande clarté ne cherche pas à transmettre des doctrines ou des concepts figés. Elle invite plutôt à éprouver la capacité de la philosophie à créer un «appel d'air» dans les discours qui saturent nos sociétés. Dans un monde plein de certitudes, le philosophe devient un empêcheur de penser en rond, à l'image de Socrate, Descartes, Kant ou Nietzsche, figures centrales du livre et précieux compagnons de vie. L'ouvrage ne se veut pas une histoire de la philosophie, mais en effet une exploration du geste philosophique de quatre penseurs : - Socrate : la maïeutique, ou l'art d'accoucher les esprits - Descartes : le doute méthodique comme outil de discernement - Kant : la critique comme fondement de la liberté - Nietzsche : la pensée comme transgression et création Spécialiste de la philosophie juive contemporaine, Sophie Nordmann insiste sur le courage qu'exige la pensée philosophique : celui de se déprendre de soi, de ses certitudes, pour ouvrir un espace critique et respirable. Elle distingue clairement la philosophie de la science : là où la science cherche des réponses dans un champ donné, la philosophie n'a pas de champ, elle est quête de mise en question. Non pas pour nous déséquilibrer, mais pour voir la vie autrement. Programmation musicale : Naïssam Jalal, Robinson Khoury - Souffle #8.

In this second episode of our fascism series, Cameron and Ray trace the roots of fascism from the French Revolution through the 19th century and into the early 20th century. They explore how nationalism, the Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment, industrial upheaval, social Darwinism, Nietzsche's philosophy, Bismarck's realpolitik, futurism, and mass psychology all fed into the eventual rise of fascism. Along the way, they compare past anxieties about modernity with today's fears of AI and technology, dig into the religious devotion of MAGA Trumpism, and unpack the Italian Fascist Manifesto of 1919. By the end, the groundwork is set for how Mussolini and others fused these cultural, philosophical, and political threads into a movement that would reshape the 20th century. The post #138 – Fascism: The Remix of History's Worst Ideas (Fascism part 2) appeared first on The BS Filter.
Nietzsche unveils the cast of characters who shaped the life and legacy of the controversial philosopher—Friedrich (“Fritz”) Nietzsche. His mother wanted him to be a pastor. His musical mentor wanted him to defend antisemitism. His sister wanted power. His love interest wanted freedom. And Fritz wanted to love life—all of it. But how? What do you do when you adore people whose values you abhor? The musical unfolds as a series of flashbacks leading to an explosive conclusion: Fritz goes insane; his sister, Elisabeth, allies with the Nazis; and his love, Lou Salomé, vows to honor their bond and write a book that will set the record straight.Book, lyrics, and music by Kimerer LaMotheMusic and orchestrations by Geoffrey Gee
Today we talk about two famous critiques of Stoicism. One by Friedrich Nietzsche who thought the Stoics weren't life affirming enough and so rob themselves of some of the best parts of life. The other by Arthur Schopenhauer who thought the Stoics were too life-affirming of worldly things to ever reach a deep understanding of things.

Ahead of their age, awaiting ours: Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche!
Real philosophers love Jesus. Once you've said that "all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden" in Christ, that's it. There's no wisdom left for pretenders like Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche. It's all in Jesus. And it's "hidden." Hidden from those who claim to love wisdom, but who aren't willing to look for it at the Source. We're in the letter of 1 Corinthians today to conclude Jim's message, The Degree That Destroys.

O conceito de razão instrumental é um dos mais interessantes da Escola de Frankfurt para nos ajudar a compreender a forma como pensamos hoje nas sociedades capitalistas.
According to the Jewish tradition, we are in the High Holy Days. According to the news, we are in the lowest unholy days. Both are true. As global tensions escalate, this paradox points directly to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita: The war to be concerned with is the inner battle between your ego and your soul. The Gita has inspired much of modern Western philosophy—from Schopenhauer and Hegel to Nietzsche and beyond—yet none of those thinkers got the real message being transmitted. Accurate understanding of the Gita's profound instructions is essential now for physical survival in this time of tribulation and, more importantly, for spiritual salvation.

Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in his work The Joyful Wisdom, explored this through a thought experiment he called the "eternal return." He asked us to imagine: What if you had to live this very life, exactly as it is—every joy, every sorrow, every thought—over and over, for eternity? How would you feel? Would you embrace it? Or, as Nietzsche suspected, would you recoil in horror? Nietzsche believed this reaction reveals a deep-seated struggle many have with regrets and missed opportunities. His work, which dates back to 1882, shows that the anguish of missing out on one's life is not new but common to us all. So how can we avoid regret? What are these common regrets? What about relationships? Are these regrets unavoidable? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In which Robert and Amy invite Nicolas Krusek, a teacher & presenter on both the theory and the history of music, literature, and philosophy, to discuss Fredrich Nietzsche, and what this unique, inspirational, controversial 19th century philosopher has to offer us in living our own best lives. What casual readers (and most Objectivists) miss (or get outright wrong), and what Nietzsche offers those who're willing to approach his work firsthand, with fresh eyes.
🎙️ Estimados oyentes y mecenas: En este episodio les presento la lectura de un fragmento de "Freud: una interpretación de la cultura", de Paul Ricœur, en el que se detalla la aportación a la hermenéutica de los llamados filósofos de la sospecha: Marx, Nietzsche y Freud. Ricœur muestra cómo cada uno, desde su perspectiva, nos invita a desconfiar de la superficie de los discursos y a desvelar lo que se oculta tras ellos: las estructuras económicas, las fuerzas del deseo y las formas del inconsciente. Este texto constituye una puerta de entrada privilegiada a la hermenéutica contemporánea, pues nos recuerda que interpretar no es solo comprender, sino también sospechar, criticar y descubrir lo latente en lo manifiesto. Gracias, como siempre, por vuestro apoyo y por acompañarme en este camino de lectura y reflexión compartida. 📗ÍNDICE 0. Resúmenes iniciales. 1. VIDA Y OBRAS. 2. SUFRO ESTE CUERPO QUE GOBIERNO. 3.

In this episode of Ascend, The Great Books Podcast, host Deacon Harrison Garlick is joined by Fr. Justin Brophy, a Dominican friar and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Providence College, to dive into the first half of Plato's Apology. Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Check out our collection of guides on the great books!The discussion explores Socrates' defense speech at his trial in 399 BC, set against the backdrop of post-Peloponnesian War Athens. The conversation delves into key themes, including the role of Aristophanes' The Clouds in shaping Socrates' negative reputation, the tension between philosophy and politics, and the influence of Alcibiades on the charges of impiety and corrupting the youth. Fr. Brophy and Deacon Garlick examine Socrates' claim of divine wisdom from the Oracle of Delphi, his distinction between human and divine wisdom, and his refusal to charge fees, distinguishing him from sophists. They also discuss the broader implications of Socrates as a threat to the democratic polis, the conflict between philosophy and poetry, and the natural antagonism between the demos and the great-souled man. The episode highlights Socrates' pedagogical approach and the relevance of his trial to modern questions of truth, virtue, and societal stability.Guest Introduction: Fr. Justin Brophy is a Dominican friar and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Providence College, where he has taught for five years. Holding a PhD in political theory from the University of Notre Dame, his teaching interests include ancient and contemporary political theory, philosophical conceptions of the human psyche, and thinkers such as Plato, Augustine, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud, and those in the modern Catholic intellectual tradition like Romano Guardini, Joseph Pieper, and Walker Percy. Fr. Brophy also serves as the director of the Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies at Providence College, fostering mission integration and intellectual exploration. His current research focuses on the political significance of Plato's Symposium, a dialogue he considers his favorite for its exploration of Eros and its historical context tied to Athens' decline.Key Discussion Points:Historical Context: The Apology is set in 399 BC, after Athens' defeat in the Peloponnesian War (404 BC) and Alcibiades' assassination (404 BC). The charges of impiety and corrupting the youth may indirectly target Socrates for Alcibiades' role in Athens' downfall, constrained by a post-war amnesty (23B-C).Aristophanes' The Clouds: Socrates addresses old accusations (18a) that he “can make the worst argument the stronger” and “does not believe in the gods,” rooted in Aristophanes' caricature of him as a sophist and atheist in The Clouds, which shaped public perception and fueled the trial's charges (19C, 31B-C).Philosophy vs. Politics: Socrates' philosophical questioning challenges the polis' laws and cultural norms, making him a political threat. Fr. Brophy notes, “Philosophy… forces you to reevaluate… the regime… the principles of law and… your culture. And that can be dangerous” (17B).Alcibiades' Influence: Alcibiades, a charismatic figure linked to Socrates, is seen as a key example of corrupting the youth due to his role in the disastrous Sicilian Expedition and defection to Sparta, amplifying fears of Socrates' influence (23B-C).Socratic Wisdom and the Oracle: Socrates recounts the Oracle of Delphi's claim that he is the wisest man (20E), leading him to...

Dive into this epic conversation on the Mike Drop Podcast with Green Beret legend Mark Giaconia. A 20-year Army veteran who traded infantry boots for Special Forces grit, Mark opens up about his raw reaction to 9/11—burning with jealousy as Fifth Group charged into Afghanistan, only to carve his own pinnacle in Iraq's brutal ops. But before the GWOT glory, he takes us back to the forgotten chaos of Bosnia in the late '90s, where peacekeeping turned into high-stakes intel gathering: embedding in remote villages, renting houses amid fresh war scars, and dodging tense standoffs with Serbian cops who grabbed their weapons at the sight of an American. From concealed pistols and civilian rides to wild encounters—like spotting a Beirut bombing fugitive in a roadside eatery or monitoring Russian convoys on the brink of World War III—Mark's stories pulse with the raw edge of undercover life in a powder keg. We geek out on metal shredding (check Patreon for the deep dive), philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and his time-travel wish to homestead in colonial Connecticut. Whether it's surviving Ranger School's 200+ day grind, losing 40 pounds in the suck, or bonding with locals over slivovitz amid genocide echoes, this episode hooks you with unfiltered warrior wisdom, historical twists, and the unexamined life's brutal truths. Don't miss Mark's insights on human nature, founding principles, and why the Balkans' hospitality hides a world of shadows—perfect fuel for any Mike Drop fan craving real talk from the front lines.
