Theory & Philosophy
David Guignion
Welcome! My name’s David Guignion and I distill complicated philosophical and theoretical ideas for wide audiences. While ideas are important to help us understand the world, it is even more important to put ideas into action. Some of this channel’s key theoretical and pragmatic influences include, but are not limited to, Marxism, Decolonialization, Feminism, Gender and Queer theory, and Critical Race Theory.

Albert Camus‘ ”The Myth of Sisyphus”
The podcast explores Albert Camus' essay on the myth of Sisyphus, discussing the connection between repetition and the absurdity of life. It examines the reasons behind choosing life or death, emphasizing the importance of sensitive language when discussing suicide. The concept of living with the absurd is explored, including the idea that suicide can reject the absurdity of life. Camus' concept of absurdity and the communal relationship humans have to reason and meaning are discussed, along with the importance of accepting the absurd as a path to radical freedom.
