Topics include physical training and physical pleasure, philosophy under political repression, the training of philosophy, wealth, social class, and the role of irony in philosophy.Starting with the opening scene of The Republic, we explore how philosophy operates under political pressure and the relationship between justice, truth, and madness. We discuss the role of wealth in philosophical pursuit, Christianity's synthesis of Greek philosophical ideas, and whether philosophy should be universally accessible or the province of a select few.\n03:02 Plato’s Republic and Justice \n07:09 Should Philosophy Be Popular? \n14:35 Wealth \n34:29 Thinking \n35:17 Christianity and Free Speech \n36:43 Beauty \n38:11 Philosophy and Social Class \n43:26 Madness and Philosophy \n53:28 The Role of Physical Training in Philosophy \n59:51 Irony","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BZcuiSRr4bH_GmK2Yf2ejTUwE_7qZeLoFy1J8IYgIS0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0MDg1LzE2ODgw/NTE4MjMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
