Description

A lot of Athenians suspect Socrates of plotting to overthrow democracy. On the other hand, Socrates says that when Athenians start thinking politics, they turn into a paranoid mob. This episode covers both sides and it honestly sounds like Socrates is complaining about Twitter. Topics:-Why people who are into politics are so annoying. -How the “political mindset” differs from the “philosophical mindset.”-Whether Socrates is an enemy of the state.Art: Marijke BouchierMusic: David Zikotivz and Clayton TappEditing, episode art and social: SepidehFudgicles: Zachary AmzallagSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=35146517&fan_landing=true)

Good in Theory is a podcast about political philosophy and how it can help us understand the world today. Want to know what's in Plato's Republic or Hobbes's Leviathan but don't want to read them? This is your pod. I explain my favourite books in political theory in enough detail that you’ll feel like you read them yourself. Deep but not heavy. No experience needed.
