I am wondering if suicide comes up as a focus of any of these lectures, because when you speak about death and philosophy in the same breath, surely suicide would have to come up. Schopenhauer's texts dealing with suicide are particularly fascinating. And of course the deconstructionists have so much to say, but in a completely different sense: Ricoeur, Blanchot, Derrida, etc. This stuff is great! Thanks again for the post.


Yes, suicide will come up later on. In part 24.

Give it up for everyone's favorite deconstructionist socialists.
