“This was a time when we were more closed off from the rest of the world, but the advantage was that we could be more focused. We usually shared information about the books we were reading, but whatever the topic, our discussions were always very heated. Looking back, our arguments seem to have been very purist. I think we were most strongly influenced by modern Western philosophy, particularly the period from Freud to Sartre.”
