  • Is Money A Myth?

    Is Money A Myth?

     Myth and Culture Podcast, Episode 10
    Jun 27 2019
    Talk of money is in the air, what with demonetisation affecting us all in our daily lives. Devdutt and Jerry use this opportunity to talk about the philosophical, mythical and cultural meaning and significance of money. Money, says Devdutt, is also a myth in which both the giver and receiver have to believe in the value of what is being transacted. But myth is not fiction; it is a reality lived by the people who believe in it.

  • Is Liberty A Western Notion?

    Is Liberty A Western Notion?

     Myth and Culture Podcast, Episode 9
    Jun 27 2019
    Is Liberty is primarily a western notion? No, says Devdutt, as he reminds us of the deeply libertarian nature of the Shramanic Parampara or the hermit tradition in Indian philosophy, from which Buddhism and Jainism also originate. But unlike the western notion of absolute liberty, the Indian notion of liberty is counterbalanced by the shravaka or the householder traditions, which emphasize the importance of duties and responsibilities.

  • What Is More Important—Equality Or Justice?

    What Is More Important—Equality Or Justice?

     Myth and Culture Podcast, Episode 8
    Jun 27 2019
    What is more important—equality or justice? In this episode, Devdutt tells us that this question itself is a western one. Greek mythology and enlightenment philosophy values justice while Abrahamic mythology and socialism value equality. In India, both equality and justice are important at different times and in different places. While the west has a fixed worldview where everyone must agree to one final truth, India because of its polytheistic beliefs allows for different perspectives and different truths to co-exist together.

I am enjoying these conversations - I like to listen to Podcasts Or talk radio to keep me company while I work late at night and I like that this feels like they are in my workshop with me just talking to each other. They discuss interesting topics and ideas that bring a different perspective to my viewpoint . I Don’t know how many episodes they plan to do but I hope they do this Weekly !
