These are observations and reflections on what is happening in contemporary society. The philosopher writes about love and sex, work and depression, power and knowledge—documenting his own "here and now" within specific historical coordinates and posing unconventional questions: What is the connection between war and pornography? What would Hegel have to say about the "foreign agent" law? Can a virus kill God? What are cats stomping about for? Major historical events—pandemics, wars, politics—become woven into the chronicles of private life, with its small joys and sorrows, transforming into a tangible, lived experience.
