Show Notes

Welcome, to episode #82 of The Exploring Antinatalism Podcast! A podcast, showcasing the wide range of perspectives & ideas throughout Antinatalism as it exists today, through interviews with Antinatalist & non-Antinatalist thinkers & creators of all kinds - now running 5 years strong! I’m your host, Amanda Sukenick, and today, I’m speaking with the translator of the new English edition, of what has long been considered the holy grail of antinatalist literature, Peter Wessel Zapffe’s 1941 Doctoral Dissertation, Om Det Tragiske, or, as it’s known in English, On The Tragic – Ryan L. Showler!
