Hi Stephen, I discovered your podcast just a few months ago and I ravenously consumed every bit of information you've put out there on philosophy! It's prompted me to reflect deeper on my own held beliefs and to continue to question everything. I know we live in difficult and uncertain times right now, but I'm confident that I'm making the right decision by supporting you!

Your podcasts on Isaiah Berlin prompted me to read his collection of essays on the History of Ideas in his book, "Against the Current". As a proponent of the enlightenment, I'm fascinated by the counter enlightenment, especially the passionate, even sometimes violent reactions by disparate groups both religious and Marxist. Berlin expresses his admiration for many of the lesser known philosophers (i.e. Vico and Montesquieu). This reading has been incredibly thought provoking and I'm beginning to see that though I still believe the enlightenment was necessary and timely, it was certainly incomplete. Thank you for prompting me to expand my mind and grow in wisdom. As it happens, of course, I have more questions than answers, but this means I am more engaged than ever and looking to continue learning.
