This episode is about the universal versus the particular, in film, poetry and prose.
There's a new thing, which is that you can now read this episode's transcript!
In this episode, I discuss the Wenders film Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin, 1987).
(Wenders' Q&A should be posted on the BFI YouTube channel.)
I also consider the relationship of the universal to the particular; see this Twitter thread.
I refer to The Master & His Emissary, by Iain McGilchrist (2009), as well as The Problem of Knowledge, by Ernst Cassirer (1950), Conversations with Goethe (1836–1848).
I also refer to Being You, by Anil Seth (2021).
At the end, I read "Love Constant Beyond Death" (1648), by Francisco de Quevado, translated by Margaret Jull Costa.
