    The Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now - The Real Meaning Uncovered

    In our ‘Search for A Theory of Everything’ podcast we dive into the themes and meaning of Joseph Conrad’s classic novel, Heart of Darkness and arrive at a definitive theme and meaning. In short, the defining quote from the book 'The Horror, The Horror' specifically describes two different horrors. Listen to find out what they are. I am surprised the rabbit holes that this book opened up for us: Colonial Congo, King Leopold II, Apocalypse Now, Tom Bombadil, The Doors, Moby Dick, Buddhism, Hinduism and even Kali popped out at us. Phew… Please listen and I hope you enjoy… ______ Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 3:08 Napalm Discussion!? 3:20 The Book: Heart of Darkness 4:52 The Life of Joseph Conrad 9:52 Critiques of Joseph Conrad 11:40 The Congo  13:53 King Leopold II, The Congo Free State and Colonial Atrocities 18:05 The Plot of the Heart of Darkness 21:20 The Women of the Heart of Darkness 24:29 The Movie Remake: Apocalypse Now 25:39 The Theme and Meaning of the Heart of Darkness 27:27 Joseph Conrad’s Deleted Text and Letters 29:40 Buddhism, Hinduism and Eastern Philosophic Influences on the Heart of Darkness 31:37 Conrad Riding The Snake 32:33 ‘The End’ by The Doors 33:30 Plato and European Thought 34:54 Journey Up The River and Into The Interior of the Psyche 36:50 Are Kurtz and Marlow The Same Person? 39:10 Summary of the Themes and Meaning 43:20: More from Apocalypse Now 43:55 Relevance for Today’s World _______ Promised Links: The Rest is History Podcast, ‘Horror in the Congo: The Nightmare Begins.
