In Episode 5 we will be discussing Plato’s dialogues that contain sophists and sophistry. We will discuss who all the sophists were and how they interacted with Socrates in Plato’s dialogues. Please check out episode 1 on the pre-socratics, Episode 2 on Socrates, Plato, Plato’s Dialogues, Episode 3 on Aristotle, and Episode 4 on The Sophists if you have not already. In coming episodes we will be discussing the interplay between them all. 

*Welcome to a journey into the origins of thought, where we explore the minds that shaped the very foundations of our understanding. Hello, my name is Mike and I am the host of Mind Escape Podcast. I am happy to share my new series called Masters of Rhetoric. Masters of Rhetoric is a free bi-weekly course/podcast that will air on Mondays. The goal is to draw from the earliest philosophers, scientists, and critical thinkers to help navigate the current technological paradigm. In a world where divisive and eristic rhetoric often dominates online spaces, I believe it’s crucial to return to the roots of dialectic. This approach can offer the thoughtful discourse that humanity desperately needs today.
