Parallax Sangha #8: OG Rose: Literature and Philosophy
Owen Cox and Andrew Sweeny talk to OG Rose ( pen name of Daniel and Michelle Garner) about the creative dance between literature and philosophy. They discuss how literature makes philosophy real by putting ideas into the conflict between different human subjects, requiring the reader to evaluate and undergo their process of self-discovery and self-becoming in reading. They discuss the pitfalls of rationality and intellect divorced from the body and how art helps keep the two together. They think about tragedy and trauma in literature and critique notions of "post-tragedy". And they think about the state of modern literature and culture in general, where it goes wrong, and what it needs.
