“Excellent analysis-assessment regarding complex ideas. Even if the listener doesn’t have a background in philosophy, this podcast will open doors for exploratory possibilities of new ideation associated with philosophy or ideas in general. I’m glad Mr West started his podcast. Grazie.”

“I may resubscribe at some point, maybe after the Zizak epoch has passed. Modern philosophy always seems to obtuse and yet derivative. The classics seem to convey much more clarity and meaning.”

“Rupert Shortt
What does Christian atheism mean?
Slavoj Žižek claims to value Christianity’s ‘dissident’ credentials, but his atheist vision of reality rests on assumptions repeatedly challenged by Jesus
