We hear a very thoughtful, passionate account of the war. She first appeared on "How Do We Fix It?" a year ago. In 2018 she received a Guggenheim Fellowship for her current book project, a history of phenomenology in East-Central Europe, tentatively titled “Eyeglasses Floating in Space: Central European Encounters That Came about While Searching for Truth.” Her most recent book is “ The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution”. This show is a companion piece to episode #380 with Jacob Mchangama. We speak again with Marci Shore, professor of European cultural & intellectual history at Yale University. Above all this show is an attempt to put the war into context: What’s at stake for Western democracy, and what space does Ukraine fit in our history? Instead of talking about politics or the state of the war, we consider the battlefield of ideas. Their unity and bravery in the bloody, cruel year since the Russia invasion are an inspiration to the rest of the world. The people of Ukraine are facing down a military giant.
