In Episode of Masters of Rhetoric, we dive deep into Aristotle’s influence on what we know as modern science. We will look at his contributions to empiricism, biology, zoology, meteorology, and philosophy of mind. Aristotle’s teacher Plato used Mathematics to drive his points home in dialogue, but Aristotle diverged and implemented biology and empiricism into his repertoire forever changing the way we observe nature and the universe.

In Episode #5 of Masters of Rhetoric, we dive into the intellectual clash between Plato and the Sophists a central conflict that shaped the very foundation of Western philosophy and rhetorical theory. This episode examines how Plato, through the voice of Socrates, sharply criticized the Sophists for charging fees, relativizing truth, and prioritizing persuasion over wisdom. Yet, we also explore the nuance behind this rivalry, questioning whether Plato’s portrayals were entirely fair or strategically rhetorical in themselves. By unpacking dialogues such as Gorgias, Protagoras, and Euthydemus, we reveal the philosophical tensions between idealism and pragmatism, truth and technique, and education as transformation versus transaction.
*Welcome to a journey into the origins of thought, where we explore the minds that shaped the very foundations of our understanding. Hello, my name is Mike and I am the host of Mind Escape Podcast. I am happy to share my new series called Masters of Rhetoric. Masters of Rhetoric is a course/podcast. The goal is to draw from the earliest philosophers, scientists, and critical thinkers to help navigate the current technological paradigm. In a world where divisive and eristic rhetoric often dominates online spaces, I believe it’s crucial to return to the roots of dialectic. This approach can offer the thoughtful discourse that humanity desperately needs today.

In Episode #4 of Masters of Rhetoric, we explore the controversial and often misunderstood figures known as the Sophists the traveling teachers of rhetoric, persuasion, and practical wisdom in ancient Greece. This episode examines their key ideas, methods, and the cultural role they played in shaping public discourse during the 5th century BCE. We also confront their depiction in Plato’s dialogues, the criticisms levied by Socrates and later philosophers, and the ongoing debate over their legacy. Were the Sophists mere manipulators of language, or pioneers of relativism and critical thinking? Tune in as we reexamine these rhetorical innovators and their lasting impact on education, politics, and philosophy.

In Episode #3 of Masters of Rhetoric, we turn to the towering intellect of Aristotle who was a student of Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, and the philosopher who systematized logic, rhetoric, ethics, and science.

We also examine his divergence from Plato’s idealism, his emphasis on empirical observation, and his lasting influence on both classical and modern thought. Join us as we unpack Aristotle’s practical approach to rhetoric and the enduring power of clear, reasoned communication.

In Episode 1 we will look at the origins of philosophy, Ionian physics, and non teleological thought. Who were the ancient Greeks and Italians that brought us epistemology, ontology, and teleology? I hope to shed light on that question in this episode.
