In episode two of Season One, "On Beauty," we discuss two poems by Karoline von Günderrode. The first is a super interesting take on narcissism. The second elaborates on that theme, and prefigures Hegel's critique of the 'bad infinite.' www.wednesdaysocietypodcast.com/physical-bea...

It was so much fun - and an absolute pleasure - to talk with fellow lover of beauty, Elizabeth Farrelly, on The Sydneyist. We discussed beauty's place in everyday life, how it differs from the pretty, and why it still matters. "Is Beauty Necessary?" you can find it here: eastsidefm.org/thesydneyist/

This is a fabulous book - it is a treasure of works by Günderrode. In the Wednesday Society podcast, episode 2, we discuss two poems from this book.

Episode 1 of "On Beauty" introduces the mysterious Diotima, who teaches Socrates everything he knows about love and beauty. Was she real? Most likely. But since the mid-nineteenth century, she's the only figure in Plato's dialogues that is regarded as a fiction.

CFP/Workshop: Reading philosophies of nature and beauty: close reading as method in the history of philosophy •Nov 24, 2026 in Sydney, AUS philevents.org/event/show/1... ECRs & grad students are invited to submit abstracts until Sept 1st, by completing the registration form on Philevents #philsky

Black and white poster with some red details containing the following text:
READING PHILOSOPHIES OF NATURE AND BEAUTY: close reading as method in the history of philosophy

24th Nov 2026 Workshop organised by Campbell Rider

10:00-17:00

University of Sydney, Quadrangle N494.

As historians of philosophy, we are directly acquainted with the method of 'close reading', but are rarely challenged to articulate what, exactly, this methodology entails, and how it can be better practiced.

This one-day event brings together senior scholars with early career researchers within the history of philosophy to discuss the role of close reading in our own work and its implications for our discipline.

ECRs and graduate students working on the following topics are encouraged to submit abstracts or register to participate:

philosophies of nature, environmental aesthetics and ethics

philosophy of art, beauty and aesthetics

underrepresented and non-canonical figures in the history of philosophy
