Been looking forward to this one!

[@erkankant]

there we go

[@chrishorner7679]

That was an excellent interview. My thanks to all involved in it.

[@vitoroliveirajorge368]

a very interesting author, indeed. Interesting also the comments Slavoj Zizek about some of his thoughts. I also admire Agon Hamza and Frank Ruda

[@juanormeno9072]

I agree with Chris. It was an excellent interview. Clever and illustrative. Congrats!

1:20:10 the basketball player reference is golden lol. We all remember the interview he did with "Chasing Leviathan" where he talked about Michael Jordan and the interviewer referenced his name to Scottie Pippin lol. And LOVE the question on the relation between sports and philosophy, which seems to be a question that recedes into the background since Ancient Greece. The only other references I can think of are Rousseau's Emile and some of Nietzsche's works.

You may find of interest Hans Gumbrecht’s _In Praise of Athletic Beauty_ (Harvard UP, 2006).

to be fair to Hegel, he doesn't ultimately think there is "propositional" truth to be distinguished from other kinds of truths. philosophy for him is already non-propositional as exhibited in his dialectic of the subject and predicate close to the end of the Science of Logic

[@letdaseinlive]

That would mean he didn't take his Logic to be true.

[@WackSmackAttack]

@@letdaseinlive no, it just means that he interprets the Logic as neither propositional nor non-propositional. it only appears propositional

[@letdaseinlive]

He thinks it says something true. If someone showed him a contraction in it he would admit it had a problem.

[@KristinP-zi2dj]

love is all that matters, really.

[@dominiquenuit2181]

Pippin is a brilliant writer, but rather blinkered in his discussion of the political situation in US and Europe.

He keeps talking about “the western modernization project since the ancient Greeks” and I just don’t know what the F he is talking about. He knows there’s such a thing as the middle ages, right?
