Everything has been figured out, except how to live - Jean-Paul Sartre

In this episode we revisit the Republic by Plato, specifically book 10 and discuss the Myth of Er. This myth is posed by Plato as a way to describe a possibility for the afterlife and a general discussion about reincarnation, free will, determinism, and the universe as a force holding all those things together. We also briefly contrast it with the Buddhist notion of reincarnation. These topics will also appear in greater detail in future episodes.

Always feel free to let us know what you think, or if you have any episode requests. We would love to hear from you! Thank you for listening and we’ll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!
