Episode #235 ... The Philosophy of Zen Buddhism - Byung Chul Han

Sep 4, 2025
38 mins

Episode Description

Today we talk about one of Han's earlier books where he offers an alternative to classic western ideas about subjectivity. We talk about Zen as a religion without God. Substance and emptiness. Alternatives to the reified self. Dwelling nowhere. Original friendliness. And death as an event we desperately try to control. Hope you love it! :)
