Peter Adamson discusses Plato's dialogues the Meno and the Theaetetus, which address various epistemological topics, including Meno's paradox, Plato's theory of recollection, the nature of knowledge, relativism, and the difference between knowledge and true belief (e.g. what must be added to a true belief to turn it into knowledge, and why knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief). This comes from Peter Adamson's amazing podcast on the History of Philosophy from a few years back, which can be found here: https://www.historyofphilosophy.net

Morality is often considered to be ahistorical. In this episode of the Minerva podcast, the focus is on Marx, who, following Hegel, disagrees with this conception of morality. The guest is David Marjoribanks. His research focuses on the theories of ideology and the implications for morality in Marx and post-Marxism. He argues that ethical norms are not transcendent, but are already there, embodied within our social practice. Critique, he thinks, is the holding to account of practice to its professed ideals.
