The Quarantine Tapes 008: Simon Critchley: “Freedom is always a freedom in relationship to the necessity of one’s mortality. And there’s not contradiction between those two things, there’s a relation of interdependence. Only in relation to the certainty of your own death that you can actually be free.” by The Quarantine Tapes
