PHILOSOPHY SERIES 1: Foundations of Western Thought EPISODE 003: Socrates: Ideas Worth Dying For After taking a look at the world of Socrates on the last episode — the Athenian Golden Age, Pericles, the Plague of Athens, the Peloponnesian War — we dive into Socrates’ philosophy! Using a handful of Plato’s Dialogues — Euthyphro, Meno, Gorgias, Theaetetus, Symposium, and Phaedo — we will find some of the foundational concepts in Western philosophy, foundations that will directly impact not only the Classical Age, but also the beginnings of Christianity, medieval philosophy, and onto today!

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.  Members-Only Series on Patreon: For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what’s happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn’t make it into the public podcast.

Closing SEASON 7: All Roads Lead to Clermont Miniseries: Iberia on the Eve of Crusade EPISODE 156: Beginning of the Reconquista King Alfonso VI of Leon-Castile, leading up to the pivotal year of 1095, needed to change the face of the Almoravid Conquest happening in Iberia. The Almoravid War Machine was formidable, but that wouldn't draw people to Iberia to help fight against it. He needed to get people to invest in what was happening. But what he did, coupled with outside events at the same time, actually helped inspire something completely different than what he was hoping for. The Beginning of the Reconquista also marks the beginning of the First Crusade.
