In Episode #2 of Masters of Rhetoric, we delve into the foundational ideas of Western philosophy through the lives and teachings of Socrates and Plato. This episode explores the evolution of Socratic dialogue, the dialectical method, and Plato’s written legacy that immortalized his mentor’s pursuit of truth. We examine how Plato’s idealism, metaphysical theories, and critique of sophistry set the stage for centuries of philosophical inquiry. Whether you're new to philosophy or revisiting these classical minds, this episode offers an accessible yet thought-provoking introduction to their enduring impact on rhetoric, ethics, and the nature of knowledge.
*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.
