The Art of Solitude

The Art of Solitude

On the inaugural episode of the Philosophique podcast, we explore Stephen Batchelor's The Art of Solitude with the author himself. We discuss Montaigne and modern methodologies for achieving solitude; the role of solitude in the work of Vermeer and Agnes Martin; plant medicine; and shamanism. Finally, we discuss meditation. Join us for a discussion of aloneness, isolation, and the path to authentic, impactful solitude.
