#29: Jonny Thakkar on The Point
In this episode, we hear from Jonny Thakker, co-founder and co-editor of THE POINT, a magazine of philosophical writing and humanistic thinking whose vision is, in the words of its editors, a society where the examined life is not an abstract ideal but an everyday practice. Leon Wieseltier on THE POINT: it is "intellectually serious, independent, far-reaching, spirited and elegant—a stirring act of resistance against the shrinkage of intellectual life in our culture of takeaways and metrics.”
