Charley Dewberry elucidates Baruch Spinoza's Ethics, what about it made Cartesian theists nervous, how it tried to end religious conflict, and why it's the groundwork for Continental philosophy.
Naomi Rinehold joins to talk about Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan, contract theory, the English Civil Wars, and how people can give demagogues sovereignty.
Charley Dewberry walks us through why Machiavelli might not be Machiavellian, how to be in the world but not of the world, and the hermeneutics of the plausible.

As a graduate from Gutenberg College I suffered from “drinking out of a firehouse” syndrome during my four years as a student. This podcast would be great for current students, non students, and alumni alike! It has been such a wonderful refresher, and challenged me to reread books I didn’t finish or struggled to understand. Gil is the perfect man for the job too! He consistently asks questions I am wondering and helps tease out deeper explanations! Well done guys!
