Sink into the intellectual universe of legendary French philosopher Étienne Balibar in this restful episode of 'Sleep with Philosophy'. We meander through his explorations of politics, identity and citizenship, deeply impacting modern societal constructs. Traverse from Balibar's roots in post-war Burgundy, his formative years under the tutelage of Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser, to his profound influence on contemporary discourse. Contemplate his thought-provoking ruminations on society's metaphorical boundaries and the conflicts within as your dreamscape's backdrop tonight. Engage in this nocturnal journey: unwind, unravel and untangle complex realities of our interconnected lives, all while drifting into tranquil sleep.This episode is hosted by Rachel Brown.
