The perennial problem, revisited in today's age, of what the philosopher is really aiming to achieve: whether it is to align with what is, in contemplative fashion, or, as seems more favored these days, to take their so-called insight and bring into reality a future and world we want for ourselves. In this episode we are in doubt as to whether that latter option is possible, and conclude it might even be naive.
