Why do certain contingent historical anomalies arrive &quot;right on time&quot;? We look awry at the bizarre historical phenomena of Kaspar Hauser and the 1898 novella <em>Futility</em> and ask why weren&#39;t they just a random bum and a stupid ship? </p><p>We also take a look at Hegel’s famous essay <em>Who Thinks Abstractly?</em> to show why Reason isn&#39;t Understanding <em>plus </em>something else.</p><p>Short sessions, variable length sessions, however you wanna put it, in these episodes we’ll wrap them up because of something that is said, rather than the tyranny of the clock.</p><p>See you in Paris,</p><p>Ž&amp;...</p>
