DEATH AND with Victor M. Sweeney

Death And Loneliness (with Axel Seemann)

29 Oct 2025

Description

In this episode of "Death And," Victor M. Sweeney is joined by philosophy professor Axel Seemann to explore the connection between death and loneliness. The pair dig into the different forms of loneliness, from the obvious ache left behind by losing loved ones to the deeper, existential kind that can linger even when surrounded by friends and acquaintances. Axel shares his personal experiences with loneliness, including the lasting impact of losing his mother as a child, and discusses how modern culture often rushes to "cure" loneliness instead of learning to sit with it. Together, Victor and Axel reflect on the importance of embracing both grief and connection, how even imperfect attempts at togetherness help, and why loneliness may always be part of being human. Their thoughtful conversation reminds us that finding meaning in life’s hardest moments is as much about acceptance as it is about seeking solutions. http://axelseemann.org
