Wow gentlemen- a biscuit tin… as academics you should be ashamed of yourselves. I went to school in England and thus history was not taught. As I can see now even though you are teaching in Oxford.

I met Jonathan Ree on my Masters course at Middlesex Uni. He was the only one who asked me in 2 years about my own conception of philosophy.

Why does the United Kingdom openly support the Nazi state of Israel’s genocide in Gaza? Who gives a fuck about children’s literature while Israel slaughters Palestinian children? I can thinking of nothing more white supremacist than talking about books while your government is burning children alive.

Kinf od, You know, Sort of

25 January 2025 - This discussion is fascinating and enlightening. Emily Dickinson is my favourite poet, Shakespeare wrote my favourite prose. But some analysis quoted here of Emily’s writing is infuriating. Like Shakespeare, she wrote from her heart in her own inimitable way. Yet someone described her as a ‘spiteful spinster’, and her punctuation dashes as ‘arrogance’. Duh? Whoever said or wrote those words reveals their own extreme ignorance.

Wow !

Where's the SprayMount and PMY machine? :)

Lovely way of treating the subject. Well done ladies.

Wonderful discussion, thank you for sharing.

A couple of minutes in and I cringe three times. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. You would think this was a comedy.

thank you

Well done Sir.

This is fascinating and empowering!

Most impressive and brilliant historical detective work! But permit me to point out that you have misidentified the diagram at 45:44. It is not the diagram on P.491. It is the most iconic diagram in all of the Principia, the famous Proposition 1, Theorem 1! Anyone who sees this diagram will know that the book is the Principia, without any other identifications. Please correct this minor detail to make your presentation perfect!

The Big philosophical Q is whether Hunter Thompson was at least subliminally influenced by this title for his own serial title.
