Скачать или смотреть Philosophising in... Sakha

Justin Smith-Ruiu is a Professor of Philosophy at Université Paris Cité and a writer of unusual scope. He is the author of many books in the history of philosophy, including ‘The Philosopher: A History in Six Types’, that serves as a major inspiration for this series. He is also one of our most consistently original and provocative essayists, writing on everything from Proust to the history of fermentation, the internet and Zhdanovshchina, many of which are available on his ‘Hinternet’. In this interview on philosophising in Sakha, we discuss Olonkho poetry, the distinctive position of Sakha in the diverse linguistic landscape of North Asia, and its fate under the Soviet Union, as well as ‘hyperactive intentionality detection devices’, the philosophical significance of animism, and living in the coldest inhabited regions of the world.
