Untimely Reflections #1: Mynaa Miesnowan - Art, Politics, and Religion

Untimely Reflections is a podcast within a podcast! In this series, I’ll be having conversations with other people interested in Nietzsche, and in philosophy. This time, I’m talking to Mynaa Miesnowan. This conversation was largely freeform. We talk about art, politics and religion as related forces that direct the course of society. We consider mass movements, dictatorships, and revolutions as caused by sociological forces that consciousness and ideology then steps in to explain and justify. Central to our interest is the relationship of world historical forces to our political, religious and aesthetic situation today.

As of yet, I have no schedule for how frequently I'll produce these: it'll be limited to the availability of the people involved, but no more than one every two weeks or so. I plan on releasing these concurrently with the regular episodes of The Nietzsche Podcast (though if I'm particularly busy that won't always be the case), but I thought I'd put out he first one on our regular release day just to get your attention.

A note on something I'd forgotten in the show: in Genealogy of Morality, the Church fathers whom I was trying to think of were Tertullian, and Nietzsche also mentions Aquinas.
