This lecture felt more summative than our past video lectures, however, I enjoyed hearing the thoughts of art and recreation as “vehicles of resurrection” and the breakdowns of the effects of immortality on politics.
Very good lecture! My question is if you, too, felt really sad that the dog was going to be left alone if the owner died. That’s all I thought until the book ended, so I was very engaged 🙂
