As the evening dims into twilight, we drift into the profound philosophical landscapes shaped by Paul Ricoeur, whose explorations into the spheres of freedom, ethics, and the narrative of human existence offer a serene backdrop for tonights sleepcast. In the hush of night, we ponder the intricate dance between the voluntary and involuntary within us, as explored in Ricoeurs Freedom and Nature, where human will wrestles with the boundaries of our own nature. Delicate threads of thought weave through Finitude and Guilt, revealing the tender faults and the shadows of evil in our collective consciousness, enriched further by the timeless interplay of history and fiction in Time and Narrative. As we settle deeper into the comforting folds of darkness, let us unravel the gentle philosophies of being and time, allowing their quiet wisdom to guide us into restful slumber.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
