Episode 15 - On Death Part III (The Plague, The Civil War, and the Ars Moriendi)
Explicit content warning
01/04/21 • 44 min
Jules takes a broader look at death from a social perspective by comparing the plague of 14th century Europe and the American Civil War. These time periods are seemingly incommensurate, but they're worth comparing to gain a perspective on the social effects of mass death.
