I am currently reading a condensed history on philosophy.
podcast-host
This made me realize how much philosophers have thought about thinking and its limits.
podcast-host
Today I was wrestling with the depiction of Immanuel Kant's critique of pure reason and wondered whether you will address these developments in thinking about thinking in your upcoming book about thinking.
podcast-host
It's a lot of uses of the word thinking, I think.
podcast-host
See what I did there.
podcast-host
Um, okay, first of all, let me clarify because I got I write a lot of books.
podcast-host
Uh what's Mika talking about?
podcast-host
Well, I have an upcoming book in March.
podcast-host
called the deep life, which I'll talk about more soon.
podcast-host
Um
podcast-host
What Mika's talking about is I have an idea for the next book I'm going to write, but I have I'm just researching this now.
podcast-host
I haven't sold it.
podcast-host
I haven't started working on it.
podcast-host
The next book I'm going to write, in theory, is going to be about thinking itself.
podcast-host
The working title is In Defense of Thinking.

podcast-host

podcast-host
Um, and he's trying to figure out, you know, the difference, pure reason.
podcast-host
He's trying to think about a priori, what do we call it, reasoning, like the ability to form thoughts not based on external observation, but just sort of internally and
podcast-host
Yeah, it's a long book, but interesting one.
