good grief i can't believe how good this is thank you from the bottom of my heart Cornell and Simon

[@nuscholar1979]

Wonderful conversation by two intellectual giants!

[@DannyCardwell]

An amazing discussion. I recommend this to everyone.

[@Philopantheon82]

Danny Cardwell i listen to this on weekly basis, very informative

[@thedivinenames3325]

One of my favorite talks! Some genuine philosophizing takes place, especially as they're conversing with one another. The conversation embodies the Wittgensteinian insight, "A philosopher says to another philosopher: take your time." More of This, please!

These guys bring the philos back into philosophy, I wholly support this level of real shit in thought

[@marcovanheugten1387]

funny how people with the same interests (same books even, some that is for sure) can think so differently on the same subjects, are they? when? where? it is a pleasure

Mystical anarchism must entail our cleansing from history; the power that is.

[@thomassimmons1950]

Catastrophe...DAMN!

[@marcovanheugten1387]

& let's throw one too 'Voll Verdienst, doch dichterisch wohnet / Der Mensch auf dieser Erde, Heidegger und Hölderlin. Herausgegeben von Peter Trawny' includes some interesting essays (and floaws of course - i mean: it is for all reasons for a small crowd, not especially mine by the way.. ;) & this is not a conversation, helaas

[@DannyCardwell]

Critchley is a beast.

[@shorthumorclips3525]

he talks like a literature book.

[@timblackburn4052]

"We should note the emphasis on secrecy, invisibility, and itinerancy, on small-scale communal experiments in living, on the politicization of poverty that recalls medieval practices of mendicancy and the refusal of work. What is at stake is the affirmation of a life no longer exhausted by work, cowed by law and the police. These are the core political elements of mystical anarchism." Is it possible to get anything more wrong. FFS Mr Critchley! A beast in word, indeed ... fingers crossed he's not got the spine :-)
