Thinker's Kitchen episodes

  • "The Cage Went In Search For A Bird"—Discussion on Kafka's aphorisms 11-20

    Discussion on Kafka's aphorisms 11-20. (Schocken edition.)

    Hi, welcome to Thinker's Kitchen. I'm Warren, a high school student in HK, and a Literature&Philosophy aficionado. The podcast is called Thinker's Kitchen for two reasons. 

    1. We think in words and we think in concepts. A new concept, to a thinker, is like a novel ingredient to a chef. It adds new flavor to thought and colors the life of the mind. What I wish to do is to introduce some new ingredients to you that you can use in your own kitchen of the mind. 

    2. In each episode I try to work out a specific topic. It is almost like I am cooking out a dish from my mental ingredients. Organizing my thoughts and expanding it. Adding flavor to them by developing its various strands. 

    A note: 
    I aim to introduce you to a thinker or a book. But nothing is better than reading the thinkers themselves, and listening to the podcast again to refresh your memory. 

    And, at last, enjoy!

  • Kafka's "The Trial", with a Heideggerian Twist

    Some thoughts about Kafka's unfinished novel, "The Trial"—which is wonderfully written, by the way.
