Sanna Tirkkonen

Academics and philosophers Sanna Tirkkonen and Björn Sundmark explore the deeper aspects of the Moomins' philosophy. They discuss the allegorical connections to philosophical thinkers, the portrayal of child and adult characters, and themes of tolerance, solidarity, and belief in change. The podcast also delves into existentialism and loneliness in 'The Moment Papazzi' and Moominmamma's journey of homesickness and self-discovery through painting. The episode concludes with reflections on the multi-dimensional nature of the Moomins as therapeutic and guiding characters.
