Philosophical Fireside Chats 🔥 🪵 : The Ox in the Alley from Chuang Tzu - Ep. 7

My lectures are dedicated to making Philosophy in particular and the world of ideas in general available to everyone. My exploration of topics and thinkers is designed to provide a foundation for listeners to engage in further reading and thought and develop their own conceptions of the topics I introduce.

I am working to remove the barriers that prevent many from experiencing and understanding the lives and thoughts of some of the world's greatest thinkers. <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/11131561">Sign-up for Wes's PATREON for class discussions, course materials, weekly diaries from France and more.</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
