Being in the Colonies

In Being in the Colonies: Singapore, Western Australia & Tasmania philosopher Dr Rohan Price follows the ontological fortunes of three British possessions throughout key moments in their history.

The formula applied across the empire is simple. Violence = freedom and convenience. Prevailing in convenience = Being. Proportional violence = operating within Fate and retaining Being. Excessive violence = a fall from Fate and a loss of Being. Resistance challenges convenience and can transform into Being, too. 

To resist is great but to hold Being is Divine! Well, as close as we can get to divinity...

Rohan reads six pages of his new book per episode.
