This episode serves as an introduction to Western philosophy, starting with Socrates. We explore the Socratic method, Plato's theory of forms, and his skepticism towards democracy. Throughout our discussion, we delve into broader questions about the nature of knowledge, authority, and their modern political implications.

In this intro episode, we share a little bit about the motivation behind the podcast and the selection of the book “A Little History of Philosophy” by Nigel Warburton.
