Clerestory (Bryan Kam)

Bryan Kam

A podcast on philosophy. I'm interested in the origins of complexity, suffering, and selfhood. I'm now lucky to have conversations with amazing people, mostly on Eastern/Western philosophy. Early episodes are my monologues (with prose followed by poetry).

  • 52 - From Literature to Lens, with Cécile Embleton

    I spoke to director, cinematographer, and my good friend Cécile Embleton (instagram) about her work and influences and her new film ⁠Mother Vera⁠, which is playing at the London Film Festival next month.


    This is a feature documentary about the life of a young orthodox nun from Belarus, I have seen it, and it is spectacular. Cécile and I discuss literature, her influences, and the challenges and joys of making arthouse cinema.


    It is also playing at Camden International Film Festival, in Camden, Maine, on Friday 13th September, 1pm @ Journey’s End Cinema.


    Other films/shows we mentioned:

  • 51 - What is Nature? with David Valerio

    This is a cross-post from my friend David Valerio's new podcast, Discern Earth. In it, we speak about what nature is.

    Here's David's description:

    We discuss the etymology of nature and related terms, whether there is a hard distinction between man and nature, hypostatization and reification, the Christian roots of theories about the inherent value of nature, and the role of embodied experience in facilitating ecological regeneration.

  • 50 - A Walk with Delia Burgess

    Delia and I walked along the ⁠Parkland Walk⁠ in London with Zoom f2 recorders and lapel mics. We cover a bit about Neither/Nor, as well as existentialism versus essentialism.

    The biologists I couldn't think of at the end was ecologist Robert MacArthur; see ⁠r/K selection theory⁠.

    Listen to Delia's podcast, ⁠Growing Up with Delia Burgess⁠.

    Recorded in June 2024.

  • 49 - Husserliana with Noah Martin

    In this episode I spoke to Dr. Noah Martin, Director of the College of Modern Anxiety.

    We discussed the relationship between phenomenology and existentialism, and the relationship between subjective and objective understanding in philosophy. We cover thinkers like Edmund Husserl, Donna Haraway, Sartre, and de Beauvoir.

  • 48 - Eternity and Time with Kit Tempest-Walters

    I spoke to Kit Tempest-Walters about his new book: Plotinus on Eternity and Time, which includes a translation and commentary of Ennead III.7.

    We discuss the challenges of translating, philosophical perspectives on the self, consciousness, and mysticism.

    We also talked about some of my perspectives from the book I'm writing, Neither/Nor, including the differences in the organizing assumptions of Eastern and Western approaches to philosophy.
