About this listen

About reality? About a monster, then: a hydra, to conquer which we must go straight for the heart. What good has reason in this fight for our lives? What good morality? What beauty? So asks the philosopher, noble creature, absurd creature.Copyright - E. S. Dallaire - All rights reserved Art Literary History & Criticism Philosophy Social Sciences

  • Reading 'What Is Sex' by Alenka Zupancic
    Dec 2 2025

    Hey! This episode is one of five older episodes from 2020-2021 that I am re-uploading to this channel. They are episodes from back when I first got into podcasting, when I called my podcast 'Metaphor & Reality', instead of 'About Reality'. You'll see the older cover art for the 'Metaphor & Reality' version of the podcast uploaded with these eight episodes to tell them apart. I always liked these episodes, and have had them saved on my computer since discontinuing the older podcast. You'll notice these older episodes feature writers from a range of disicplines, not explicitly to do with philosophy. Moving forward I want to continue diagraming the influence I've always drawn from the broader range of human inquiry over the years, and I'm reposting these older episodes wherein I don't think twice whether the idea I want to elaborate comes from a work of fiction, poetry, history, politics, etc.

    Hope you find the ideas in these eight episodes are worth sticking around for, and that you like them as I do, and can forgive them their faults!
