Philosophy vs. Improv   /     Mystic Toaster with Simon Critchley

Description

Simon is a professor at New York's New School for Social Research and moderates the New York Times' philosophy offering, The Stone. He joins Mark and Bill to discuss his new book, On Mysticism: The Experience of Ecstasy, and we used the occasion to explore how art and mysticism might be connected, including engaging in improv rituals. You can watch this on unedited video. We do some post-game discussion for the first time in a while (not on the video) where we reflect on the episode, and Mark connects it to PEL's current topic, Ludwig Feuerbach.
