#3  Emile Stipp is an Open Book | Part 2: Philosophy, Meaning & The Limits of Logic

Loading player...
In Part 2 of this Open Books series, Pamela Hellig continues her conversation with Emile Stipp — moving deeper into the world of philosophy, logic, and language.

Through rare and influential books, Emile explores how some of history’s greatest thinkers have tried to answer fundamental questions about truth, meaning, and reality.

From Ludwig Wittgenstein to Kurt Gödel, this episode unpacks the surprising limits of logic — and why not everything meaningful can be proven.

Erratum: In the discussion of Imre Kertesz’s Kaddish for an Unborn Child, the quote regarding poetry after the Holocaust was incorrectly attributed to Paul Celan. It should be attributed to Theodor Adorno.
