Western Moral Philosophy For Beginners episodes
- Socrates
In this episode, we dive into the life and legacy of Socrates, the enigmatic figure who changed the course of Western philosophy without writing a single word. Join us as we explore his relentless questioning, his infamous trial, and his profound ideas on ethics, virtue, and the examined life. From the streets of ancient Athens to his final moments with hemlock, we uncover why Socrates remains a symbol of intellectual courage and why his method still challenges us to think deeper today.
