YES! A new show!

A. Sprakelaar

Thanx, Stephen. Hope you're doing well!

Thanks Stephen. This was a nice sympathetic gloss on Strauss, badly needed in this time that simply rails against him as the father of the neo-cons. it would nice if the quotations were footnoted. Can you tell me from what text the quote you end on is?

Marshall White

Thanks for another thoughtful podcast.

Stephen - well done, Sir! excellent podcast. Has changed my thinking about my relationship to "reality". thanks, (I think?).

Oo yes, I was wondering the same thing! I also thought it was a great introduction, and it also clarified my own relationship with Strauss. I’ve got my fingers crossed for an episode about esoteric writing!

Thanks for the excellent podcast. Any chance of revisiting the Stoics at some point?

Helped me clarify the reasons why I like studying ideas from different time periods. The contrasts and similarities help get a greater perspective on current problems. Thanks for great podcast.

The day has finally come. I've listened through all the way from episode 1 to episode 134. I've made my way through them while exercising, cleaning the kitchen, and more recently, downloaded and playing on a bluetooth speaker in my pocket while I tend the vege garden. I've finally caught up with where you've published to, so it's time to sign up as a patron and start over from episode 1 again. I can't wait to see what new perspective I have on the early episodes now I've got a more extensive understanding of the world and the world of philosophy than I did before. Thank you <3

Very thought provoking. Two questions. 1. Countries like India have adopted a liberal democratic system which is value neutral while most people are still rooted in the ancient value systems of their respective sects_ be it Castes within Hinduism or Hindus/ Muslims/Christians. There is a general tendency not to follow rules which are framed by value neutral system. Being good for each person is just a matter of conforming to ones own sectarian value system to which shebelongs'.

The Strauss quote at the end, about ceasing to be a philosopher when you begin defending a solution rather than continuing to investigate... that reminds me so much of one of my favorite quotes, from Nietzsche (who was always great at making great quotes): "Here the ways of men divide. If you wish to strive for peace of soul and happiness, then believe; if you wish to be a disciple of truth, then inquire." From a letter to his sister.
