Im writing my thesis partly about the ideas of Han and your analysis of the book really helps me!

[@DavoodGozli]

Glad to hear the videos are helpful - good luck with your thesis!

[@meehwasong5717]

Definitely I am getting that book! Thank you.

[@rblongfellow]

Yes more sessions ❤

[@zeromonster3381]

Thank you. I'm always down for further discussion/seminars...

[@9000ck]

Yes, I would be interested in a seminar like discussion of Han's work, especially psycho-politics.

[@DavoodGozli]

Great! Please send me an email so we can coordinate with everyone else about the time. My email address is accessible through the "about" tab on my channel page.

Thanks Davood for the review, I am really interested in the topic (I didnt know the terminology for it though) I think discussing it more through seminars/discussion sessions is a great idea

[@DavoodGozli]

Thanks, Parastoo! I'll follow up regarding a session (or more) on Han's Psychopolitics.

I am making my thesis on Han's critical theory, I'm glad I passed by this video. Very helpful!

[@DavoodGozli]

Excellent! Good luck on your thesis.

This is the first book I've read (and am currently reading) by Han. There's much there that make sense to me, but I don't have a background in philosophy, and I'm having a little trouble getting past his repetitiveness; perhaps it's just his contemplative style, to turn a thing over and over and attend to parts of it. Your discussion here helps a lot. Thank you!

[@DavoodGozli]

I like your description of his (somewhat repetitive) style as turning a thing over and over... and agree with it. Glad to hear the video was helpful. Thanks!

Going to add this book to my cart because of this video, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate including what you didn’t like. I’m a bit “burned out” on the 5 stars and blurb marketing of texts.

[@DavoodGozli]

Thanks for your comment. I feel the same way about uniformly positive (and uniformly negative reviews). hope you enjoy the book.

[@rodneykiercaparroso6622]

I am currently doing my Thesis on Byung-Chul Han and this is very helpful. I hope I can communicate with you Mr. Davood Gozli to further understand Byung-Chul Han. thank you very much

[@kristenkilgallen2892]

Very interested in going over this book in more depth!

[@DavoodGozli]

Great to hear that! Please send me an email (it's available through the "About" tab on the channel) and I'll follow up regarding the possible date/time and other info.

[@sanfransailor]

I am not finished with the book but (a) see many parallels with the ideas of Habermas, Marcuse, and Debord, and (b) would be very interested in a discussion group. Thanks for doing the video!

[@valentinagaravaglia1732]

hi! could you explain the parallel you see between Han and Habermas please?

[@thecommenter1523]
