ABOUT THE POD
Philosophy is an important academic subject, one we believe everyone should be exposed to and explore. But philosophy can also feel distant and abstract to many people. The Grindstone is an ‘armchair interviews with philosophers’ podcast that gets to know the people who study and teach philosophy, and tries to apply some of their wisdom to the world around us.
We let the conversations unfold in their own way, but we try to cover three topics with all of our guests:
We also occasionally interview people who majored in philosophy and went on to careers in various industries outside of academia to ask them how their education in philosophy prepared them for and applies to their current work.
The conversations are informal, organic, and go where they go. We hope that they are informative and insightful. And we hope that you enjoy them. Thanks for listening!

Do you ever find yourself wondering how a few undergraduate philosophy students might summarize the whole history of philosophy in less than an hour? Well, if that’s something that sounds interesting to you then this is your lucky day. In this episode of the Grindstone, Lael Keller, Jonah Falcone, and Mert Kiroglu introduce the subject of philosophy by explaining how it has developed from the Pre-Socratics all the way to the 21st century.
The topics addressed include Ancient Greek Philosophy such as Stoicism, how ancient philosophy combined with different religions of the Middle Ages and gave birth to Medieval Philosophy, and how a focus on the individual helped develop Modern Philosophy. Thank you to Mo Hunt for controlling the audio for this episode. Enjoy!
