This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, novelist, and essayist Albert Camus' four Letters To A German Friend (anthologized in Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays)

Specifically it examines the first letter, which elaborates the theme of love for one's country. He makes a distinction between two different conceptions of love for one's country, one which subordinates all other values and realities to one's country (as the Nazis do), and one that holds one's country to higher standards (as the French do), which seems to put them at a disadvantage.

Albert Camus, Letter To A German Friend - Letter 1: Loving One's Country - Sadler's Lectures

A Tribute to Swaida
A five-part audio journey blending electronic tones with the spirit of a people who stood tall through fire, betrayal, and courage.
Every loop carries a memory. Every drop echoes a heartbeat from the mountain.

through the dust of our mountains.
These tones carry their footsteps, their roars like lions, their speed like tigers.
The battle echoed across days and nights.
They stood like mountains, unshaken by fire or betrayal.
But war always leaves a scar — we lost many of our brave.
This mix is a tribute, a memory, and a promise that we do not forget —
We are the children of light.
We are People Of The Black Castle.
