Season 2 · 1 Aug 2017#2.6 Between crisis and war: Philosophising?

52:48God present through his absence: "you would not seek me if you had not found me." Christianity de-divinizes nature, unlike the Greek world peopled with gods.
59:12In Kafka, if someone awaits the message, it is because it has arrived.
