I'm reading his book now and finding his attempt to connect current extreme and populist movements to the West, capitalism and Enlightenment frustrating. I don't think I'm being unfair to say he links ISIS with Brexit supporters, which is hysterical. Over the page he scoffs at those of us who say (of ISIS) "we, liberal, democratic, are not like these savages at all". And yet we are not, and we should say so.
I read the novel Romantics of Pankaj ji. This was after I saw you referred to by Elif Shafak who was assisted by Pankaj and Shamsi for her novel Architect's Apprentice.
Great conversation. I hope you do bring back "Talking Politics" I've listened to each episode several times and need more!

What is your take on kirkegaard's points of view and sHupenheur
I hope you weren't expecting a response anytime soon, but you asked a very difficult question.
Talks a lot without saying anything
Did they ever decide on a list of people from now who deserve to be on a history of ideas series in the future?
