Each week we will explore a different philosopher, sometimes more than one, focusing on making their ideas clear, understandable, and relevant to life today. We will also examine what philosophy shares with science and religion and how it differs from both. Featured thinkers include several pre-Socratics, Socrates (via Plato) and his woman teacher Diotima, Aristotle, Lucretius, Hypatia of Alexandria, Descartes, and his female critic Elizabeth of Bohemia.
