Episode #235 ... The Philosophy of Zen Buddhism - Byung Chul Han

September 03, 2025 0:38:19 6.63 MB ( -6.64 MB less) Downloads: 0

Today we talk about one of Han's earlier books where he offers an alternative to classic western ideas about subjectivity. We talk about Zen as a religion without God. Substance and emptiness. Alternatives to the reified self. Dwelling nowhere. Original friendliness. And death as an event we desperately try to control. Hope you love it! :)
