Episode 5: (Very) Old School

If you were going to create an all-star team of philosophers, who would make the cut?  What would your squad look like?  How would they interact with one another?  In the fifth episode of our podcast we take a look at Raphael's masterpiece, "The School Of Athens", which is essentially an all-star cast of Greek philosophers re-imagined for modern times.  Of course, by modern times I mean Raphael's modern times in the 1500's. 
Listen as we talk about who's who among great philosophers and why it matters so much that this fresco is on a wall on the inside the Vatican.  If you'd like to interact with us, leave a comment, or go on a rant we'd love to hear it on our facebook page on on twitter @TheBlindEyePod. Thanks!
