from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

On Soren Kierkegaard's essay "The Present Age" (1846) and Hubert Dreyfus’s "Nihilism on the Information Highway: Anonymity vs. Commitment in the Present Age" (2004). What's wrong with our society? Kierkegaard saw the advent of the press and gossip culture as engendering a systematic passivity and shallowness in his fellows, and Dreyfus thinks this is an even more apt description of the Internet Age. With guest John Ganz. Please support PEL! The post Ep. 224: Kierkegaard Critiques the Present Age (Part One) first appeared on The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast.
