Reading the Way of The Way

danielcoffeen's Podcast

This is the second part of a series in which I read the title of my new book, Reading the Way of Things. In this episode, I focus on how the phrase "The Way" functions.
A way is an action, a trajectory, a mode of going. It is limited and yet emergent and infinite.
I discuss Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai; the relationship between the infinite and the limit with reference to the calculus; the reality TV cooking show, Chopped; Epictetus, the great stoic; Deleuze's notion of the one as many. And more!
