Hey folks, you might be surprised at seeing a part three in your public feed.

And there are a couple of reasons for that.

First, after trudging through all this German romanticism,

every one of you deserves to hear was actually lay down the connection to German idealism.

In other words, what it really is supposed to be the philosophical upshot

for all of philosophy, not just for philosophy of art.

Second, we really like how this came out and wanted to show you

this new format of close reading with just me and Wes.

We've done something like this for a few of the part three episodes over the past few months.

So next week we will be launching a new podcasting endeavor called Close Reads,

Philosophy with Mark and Wes.

Stay tuned to this feed next week to hear your first example of that.

You're going to love it. There's video.

There's worlds of new possibility with this format.

And to clarify, apart from this week and next week,

we're not replacing P.L. or anything.

The third reason you're hearing this now is because it's been very hard

given summer travel for us to record consistently every two weeks.

And we need you to just a breather in the schedule.

So I hope you like it.
