This post inaugurates the podcast component of Humanities in Revolt. In this episode and those to come I will give voice to previously published Substack posts. You can also find this and future podcast episodes on platforms like Spotify and YouTube.
In this episode I explain the theme of the newsletter and podcast. (See below for the original post or click this link.) That aim is to explore the art of being human by taking the humanities out of the ivory tower, and into the homes and streets of everyday life. I also give my take on what the humanities, at their best, raise objections to and what they affirm. After you give it a listen please share with others and, as always, share your thoughts in the comment section.
What do you see as the best in the humanities? What role do they have to play in the 21st century amidst so much ecological-social-political instability and crises? What relationship should the humanities have with the sciences and technology?
