This podcast seeks to challenge the commonly held assumptions about Japan as harmonious, homogeneous, and traditional by recasting its history as a history of conflict and change, as the history of class struggles, from anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, and intersectional perspectives.
Women in the New Left is an extremely important topic. You have to learn about the New Left with the same mindset you read Schopenhauer (not to bang on about him, sorry). That is: learn, discard bad elements, e.g. misogyny
As the other resident Schopenhauer obsessive, your characterization of him is totally accurate, at least.
I hope you write that thesis
It'll take me a while to be in a position to do so, but I certainly intend to :heart-sickle:
Hell yeah. You've got a head start on me given that I didn't do Arts at uni. Idk what I'm going to do. I've gone feral hog mode basically
