Special Thanks to Hannah Raymond-Cox for the loan of her awesome voice!
The books I used (this isn’t necessarily what I think of them):
The Ancient – Plato’s Republic
The Incomprehensible – Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals
The Modern – David Lewis’ On the Plurality of Worlds
The Depressive – Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus
The Activist – Thomas Pogge’s World Poverty and Human Rights
You – An essay I was writing on the definition of creativity

This would have been great if all of the philosophers he was mentioning was listed as he spoke about them. New to philosophy so did not recognise them all.

Is it weird that I found the Myth of Sysiphus was uplifting? When I read it as a teen, because of how it valorized human agency in spite of a world indifferent to it.
Camus didn't make me sad, he made me empowered!

Kant: That's the way I felt about my entire Philosophy 101 class in college. I'd struggle through an assigned reading, and then ask, "Okay, what was that actually about?" And realize I had no fucking idea.

That ending was heartwarming! We are our own amalgamation of past philosophers and each way is different.

I am crying and here is the breakdown of why: 10% because I have that exact version of Plato’s Republic and 90% because of the Kant part.

Hegel should have been the incomprehensible
@baileymaxfield1432
March 26, 2026 at 5:48 pm
As soon as I saw the incomprehensible I hoped it would be Kant, then I laughed out loud (literally) when it was. 😅😅😅
@Pfhorrest
March 26, 2026 at 5:48 pm
How is Kant the incomprehensible? Kant makes more sense than most philosophers out there. You want incomprehensible, try reading Heidegger or something.
