Isabela Granic and I recap dependent origination and discuss how I encountered philosophy through Russian literature, Taoism, and eventually got interested in Western philosophy.

• My article: "Dependent Origination without any Pali"
• "The Disarticulation of the Self in Nietzsche" (1981) by J. Hillis Miller PDF
• Brian Magee article on philosophy: "Sense and nonsense" (2000)
• Our earlier episode: Experimental and Historical Sciences
• Article by Deborah Casewell: "Karl Jaspers: The forgotten father of existentialism" (2023)
