A talk a few months ago by my partner Becca.
The essay “The Fantastic Imagination: Sub-Creating Tolkien’s Middle-Earth,” which is the foundation of this presentation, is available here.
“Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.”
—Alfred North Whitehead
