  • E05 Towards Husserl
    Nov 21 2024

    Edmund Husserl - Crisis of the Sciences - First Philosophy

    In order to understand Edmund Husserl's famous dictum to go "zu dem sachen selbst" we need to first understand the reasons for which it makes sense to do so.
    Awee expertly guides us through the crises of sciences, which brings us to Husserl's doorstep.

    Kas and Sonia discuss whether anything Jean — Paul Sartre ever wrote is worth wile, or if he should have at least written something better than the sources he used? And, without missing a beat, they hit their favourite target: the Dostoevsky anvil, lest we forget.

    Let's begin finally!

    First philosophy invites you to begin philosophy with us anew.

    Edmund Husserl says philosophers must be eternal beginners, so in in this podcast we return to our beginnings: great lectures!

    Our first season centers around Dr. Awee Prins and the lecture series Human Conditions.

    Each episode is a dive into various philosophical themes, blending insights form great thinkers with contemporary issues and encouraging contemplative conversations on what it means to be human in an ever-changing world.

    Sonia Shvets and Kas Molenaar - as fellow travellers and hosts of First Philosophy - will provide brief interludes, insights, and introductions to the various topics and lectures. Let's begin, finally!

  • E02 What is your Philosophy?
    Sep 25 2024

    The History of Philosophy · permanent Netflix · Plato · The Masters of Suspicion · · The world of ideas

    “Philosophy is a strange zigzag, and with a lot of zigzags to come that we don't even know about.”

    In the second episode, Awee continues exploring the phenomenological approach while questioning what it means to practice philosophy.

    Sonia and Kas take a moment to examine the nature of stories, specifically Awee's stories but also in the realm of literature. And also the first of many Dostoevsky mentions.

    Let's begin, finally!

  • E01 What is the Human?
    Sep 25 2024

    Introduction to Philosophy · What does it mean to be human? · Seeing-eye-dogs · Phenomenology · Edmund Husserl

    “What is man? There are no definite answers to this question.”

    In this first episode, Awee Prins explores the phenomenological approach, which tries to understand the world—not as a sum of objects or a totality of things but as a crossroads, a patchwork of different perspectives.

    Sonia and Kas introduce themselves and the First Philosophy podcast.

    Let's begin, finally!
