This episode features a live recording of The Coolness of the Absolute, an Acid Horizon event held in State College during the fall of 2024. Penn State philosophy professor Josh Wretzel reinterprets Hegel’s Jena Phenomenology as a moral psychology, exploring three varieties of moral personality and their culmination in absolute knowing. Josh connects these ideas to the cool jazz of Miles Davis, offering a profound reflection on how both philosophy and jazz embody calm contemplation amidst disruption.
