政哲茶記 The Political Philosophy Cha Chaan Teng

承接上一集嘅總論，今集講一個政治哲學的方法論（methodology）問題：究竟政治哲學應唔應該「離地」？政治哲學應該點樣處理「政治現實」嘅問題？一個「冇可能」實現嘅理論，究竟又有冇價值？

This episode explores a methodological question in political philosophy, namely: how "idealistic" or "realistic" should political theory be? My discussion will be focused on the works of Bernard Williams and David Estlund.

想開podcast講政治哲學好耐，而家終於踏出第一步，希望大家多多支持，亦都歡迎大家不吝賜正！第一集首先要講吓乜嘢係政治哲學，有啲咩主要議題，又點解要讀？

Finally took a shot at starting a podcast channel in Cantonese about political theory! The debut episode is about what political theory is, what some of the major topics are, and why we should care about it at all.
