        I guess. I’m a fairly intelligent person, who is well educated, and decently well read. But I’ve never heard of them. I’ll have to do some reading I guess.

          If you’re curious about the guy, he’s worth reading. His Letters and Papers from Prison and Ethics are the two dealing with all of this. Ethics is unfinished, because he was moved from a standard prison to a concentration camp before they eventually executed him.

          To be fair I grew up in a religious household so he was a bit of a folk hero for us.

          He was an interesting chap.
