🕑 Added 2024-12-11 13:00:12 +0000 UTClast call for questions for our The Name of the Rose mailbag is midnight, Wednesday, December 11th, so send them in!
patrons, here is your ad-free regular episode for the week. it's an interview so there's no question.
folks, we've made no secret that we love mysticism on the show. we've talked about it on various episodes and some of our faves were mystics including Hildegard, Marguerite Porete, St. Francis, and more. so we were naturally interested when philosopher Simon Critchley published a new book, entitled On Mysticism: The Experience of Ecstasy in October 2024, and he agreed to come on the show. we talk his new book, why the term "mysticism" is a misnomer but an indispensable one, what we can learn from mysticism, and how we can apply it in our daily lives. by way of introduction, Simon Critchley is an English philosopher, author, Liverpool football fan, and podcaster who has written numerous books and essays on subjects ranging from Heidegger and modern philosophy to the morality of suicide to association football (soccer) to David Bowie, and more. you can find his new book everywhere or you can visit his site here: https://simon-critchley.com/
