Blooms & Barnacles

The Virgin at Hodges Figgis' Window


Listen Later

Dermot and Kelly carry on discussing “Proteus” in their flutiest voices!

Topics in this episode include: yet more discussion of the philosophy of the good bishop of Cloyne, George Berkeley, shovel hats, the fluttering of the veil between the material world and the metaphysical world, Dermot’s grudge against Bertrand Russell, how language obscures one’s perception of the material world, the heraldic system of hatching, Stephen playing with his stereoscopic vision, Stephen’s ideal woman, Hodges Figgis,  and how Stephen has trouble handling rejection, even if it’s in his own mind.
