Episode description

Philosophy is a discipline classically concerned with "Being", or the presence of Something.  Why is there Something rather than Nothing?  However, after more than a century of psychoanalysis, we may say that the human subject is an entity of Lack, or that Lacks.  Thus, the human subject is a Being constituted by a contradictory identity, constantly attempting to fill in the persistent feeling that there is "Something missing".  In this conversation series, we seek to enquire deeper about the experience and the philosophy of Lack, and ultimately, what such a philosophy might say about our contemporary culture.  Why is there Nothing rather than Something?
