In this episode, Jana and Mark discuss the sociology of 'hot (theoretical) takes' - what is it about crises that provokes so many intellectuals to offer interpretations? What is it about 'philosophising' that is so tempting and so frustrating for gasping epochal events? And what is specific about the Covid19 crisis and how intellectuals respond to it?
