Dead Poets Society: Kierkegaard and the Self That Cannot Come Home (Mythic Mind Movies, ep. 29)

Dead Poets Society can awaken a self that has gone quiet — and still leave that self stranded between inspiration and a life it cannot inhabit. In this episode, Andrew reads the film through Kierkegaard: the romantic summons to become a self, the dizziness of freedom, and the tragedy of a spirit that cannot come home to the concrete facts of its own existence.

This is Mythic Mind Movies, ep. 29, in which we discuss Dead Poets Society, Kierkegaard, and the self that cannot come home.
