The Craft of Living Ante Jeroncic

The question in the podcast title was prompted by an article in the Guardian that addresses that very question. Here I briefly touch upon it by offering a couple of points of agreement before suggesting a particular practice that might be helpful to us without running afoul of the criticism the piece lays out.

A couple of years, I came across Günter Figal's lectures "Heidegger in Modernity" given at the University of Freiburg. In this episode, I begin some of the insights I have gleaned from them, in particular, focusing on the essentializing motif in Heidegger, i.e., the stress on the simple and the essential.

It's good to be back after a year! As I explain in the episode, a lot of things happened on my end that led me to set aside recordings for a while. In any case, I am picking here where I left off, posting presentations that consist of two parts: Craft of Living bites with various updates, insights, and experiences, often with a personal take. Following that, I focus on a particular theme, here the dialectic of radical integrity and radical compassion, a hallmark of perfection.EPISODE06:56 - T...

In my previous episode, I broached the topic of mental fortitude, stressing its importance and manifoldness. Mental fortitude, in other words, is not just one thing but is something that is comprised of different elements. Here I advance the discussion by offering some important qualifications.EPISODE REFERENCES AND BACKGROUND MATERIALLane, "Backpacking with the Saints": https://amzn.to/2MxD7XeClimacus, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent": https://amzn.to/3a9VDxKDiviney, "The Attributes": https://a...
