A proposito di questo titolo
 Eric Kaplan, a comedy writer (Futurama, Big Bang Theory) and doctor of philosophy, and Taylor Carman (Barnard College, Columbia University), a philosophy professor specializing in phenomenology, existentialism, and hermeneutics, host a podcast that addresses unsettling questions concerning human existence and the order of things with the goal of finding a path to courage using comedy, imagination, and dialogue. Along the way they occasionally grapple with the deep uncanniness of being.Eric Kaplan and Taylor Carman Filosofia Scienze sociali

    Sep 20 2026

    Eric and Taylor talk about death and whether we ought be afraid of it. In this episode Taylor speaks partly from personal experience because a few years ago he had a mild brush with death. He did not die, however, which he and Eric agree was a good thing. They also agree that death is, if nothing else, uncanny.

    50. Have We Forgotten Being?
    Aug 26 2026

    Have we forgotten what it means to be? Is the history of being a history of our becoming oblivious to it? Does being even have a history? Taylor and Eric discuss these terrible, wondrous, “rich and strange” subjects in anticipation of the publication of Taylor's forthcoming book, Heidegger and the History of Being.
