#paradox #loveandphilosophy #bayoakomolafe #deleuze #ritournelle #waymaking
A profound conversation with philosopher, psychologist, and poet Bayo Akomolafe. The discussion centers around the radical incompleteness of love, the limitations of binary categorizations, and the process of finding meaning within multiplicity. Highlighting personal stories, including Bayo's relationship with his young daughter and his late father, the conversation explores themes of disruption, care, and the paradoxical nature of existence. Bayo also shares insights from his book 'These Wilds Beyond Our Fences,' and hints at his upcoming work, 'An Ocean of Milk, A Parable of Love in Three Numbers.'
