10/02/19 • 21 min

This week Mike and Danny witness the ego walk into Fichte's bar and tell everyone that they are unconscious. Listen in total astonishment as the not-ego stands up and accuses the ego of spilling it's pint. In the ensuing chaos, as the inevitable fight breaks out, listen for the Absolute Ego as it decides it's had quite enough of all this squabbling, gets out of bed and throws everyone out. Are you in the bar or are you bared? Listen in to this cast and guarantee that you are on the guest list.

Ep. 61 Fichte and German Idealism Part 1

This week Mike and Danny abandon the world of sense experience for the inner recesses of human consciousness. While the material world was rather more robust the ideal world of the ego seemed to have a lot of extra space and let in plenty of light. If we take down that wall over there, the one separating the ego from the not-ego, Fichte assures us that we can really open the whole space up, perhaps creating a combined living room study area, maybe even fit in some patio doors. Listen in as we look around the absolute ego trying to decide whether the small box room really does count as “a guest bedroom” and whether Fichte looks a bit like Kant in a certain light. Expand your mind and cast off the shackles of the real for the infinite possibilities of the ideal (terms and conditions apply).

Ep.63 Fitche and German Idealism Part 3

This week Mike and Danny help Fichte to pack his bags after a very pleasant visit. Fichte tells us not to fuss as he'd far rather do his own packing because activity helps develop his consciousness and also expands the universal ego. Mike and Danny remind him that the last time he said that he left two pairs of socks and some underwear under our spare bed and nobody wants that. Fichte insists that these undergarments are the not-ego and by engaging with them we are also growing as egos and that we are welcome. Also in this cast we explore the caverns under WTF mansions and come across something very unsavoury. Tune in and bring a torch.
