Moby Dick, part 2: A conceptual analysis of Whiteness
We continue our voyage with chapters 40-80 of Herman Melville's leviathan MOBY DICK.
Talking nihilism and meaning-making, the deeper significance of making the whale white (seriously), the terrifying vastness of the ocean, animal welfare and charismatic megafauna, and whether we're OK with reading an abridged edition of the book.
In short: we're having a whale of a time. Tune in next week for our third and final instalment.
CHAPTERS:
