This week's episode is a recording of a live conversation at the Association for Core Texts and Courses (ACTC). The guys discuss Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "Discourse on the Sciences and Arts," also known as the "First Discourse," and podcasting great texts in the history of political philosophy. They also take live questions from the audience.

Many thanks to Charlotte Thomas, Executive Director of the ACTC and Professor of Philosophy at Mercer University, for having us! Be sure to check out the great work they do by visiting www.coretexts.org.
