Not another Ted talk. Apply-Degger is a podcast series by the Onassis Foundation made for people who are curious, serious and interested, but who simply don’t have the time to sit down and read the 437 densely-written pages of Heidegger’s philosophical book. Slow down, take your time, open your ears and think deeply. Hosted by Simon Critchley.
