I had to read Ibsen’s 'A Doll’s House' for a World Literature class when I was in 10th Grade (25 years ago). I'm definitely not a "literature person." but I remember enjoying reading this novel as well as Thomas Hardy's 'Jude the Obscure' for the World Lit class. I don't particularly enjoy reading fiction or novels. I have dyslexia and ADD, so that plays a part in my displeasure in fiction novels. My BetaMale English teacher had the contemporary feminist interpretation of 'A Doll's House' while I, as a conservative, and few of my devout Catholic classmates, had a similar interpretation that Libby does.

Michael, I saw you had Libby on and instantly added it to the top of my watch list. Libby, you did not disappoint. I’m a great admirer of your work on PM, love when you’re on TimCast. But this opened a whole other dimension of your character to me. So glad I got to see you in your passion discussing truth and beauty. Let’s bring that back.
When are we going to see Mises, Locke, Hayek, Bastiat, or Rothbard be mentioned in this series? I am currently reading "Liberalism" by Ludwig von Mises. The things he has written about liberalism are very different from the modern liberalism we have today. I'm not gonna go into detail cause there's a lot to talk about. I will however say this: the book defines what liberalism is and why liberty, private property, free markets, and freedom are good and why socialism is bad. I highly recommend people to read it.
I enjoyed this conversation. I was into practical science in my education. Maybe I am a bit autistic, but I have difficulty understanding human motivations beyond raw emotions. My best understanding is from my love of truth, honesty and beauty. I would love to see Libby come back to The Book Club again.
i love this show. always looking forward. i’m not a thorough reader, and i love listening to these back stories and analysis. thank you! this was a good episode.
But anarchism does not mean you are extremely individualistic. It only means that you want to choose which hierarchy you join. Like family, religion, community. This is how I understand it.
Do “Paradise Lost”! It’s a glaring omission at this point. The 1848 revolutions were not radical. Certainly not the sense of the Paris Commune. They were for conditional limits on monarchs and national self determination.
Ibsen attacks the bourgeois norms, and does not defend the old conservative way of thinking. At the time when the play was written, women did not have many rights. They were the man's property. That is why the play is also called A Doll House. Nora was, like women at the time, a thing and it was never written about women as independent thinkers. Ibsen goes against the old conservative ideas and claims to think about human liberation himself.
