Episode 1: Pascal, Man as a Thinking Reed

A philosophy podcast for everyone.  The main idea is for us to get to know some of the most interesting thinkers that ever lived.  Each episode is part of a series on a certain thinker/writer.  Episodes are fairly short (about 15-30 minutes), but long enough to get you thinking.  We explore a wide range of thinkers and writers, both ancient and modern.  Pascal, Plato, Dostoevsky, Seneca, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Shakespeare, Camus, Melville -- just some of the names we will encounter together.
