What is it about?
What better way to endure the Brexit confusion than have a conversation about a famous philosophical outsider figure who took an informed and insightful interest in the corner of the British Isles where you’re based…..
This is what Dr Dominic Smith, from the Scottish Centre for Continental Philosophy was able to do recently. At the invitation of his colleague Dr Laura Findlay, Dominic was able to share recent research he has been doing into Walter Benjamin. Follow the link below for a discussion of (amongst other things) technology, locality, open philosophical education, and Goblins!
