PHIL002: Socrates In Context

PHILOSOPHY SERIES 1 : Foundations of Western Thought EPISODE 001: Socrates In Context On this episode, we take a few minutes to outline why Socrates was the way he was and why his life ended the way it did. Philosophy, to some degree, is a reflection on one’s world, one’s circumstances, and if I try to preach anything it’s context matters . We won’t always do a “history episode” in this philosophy series, but I just strongly feel that one cannot truly understand the monumental thinking of Socrates without understanding his monumentally important world.
