Today, I am joined once again by Professor David Runciman to talk about the second series of his brilliant <a href="https://www.talkingpoliticspodcast.com/history-of-ideas-series-two" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">History of Ideas</a> podcast. The series looks at some of the most important political thinkers of all time and tells us about their lives, their theories and why their thinking still matters. We discuss the series and look at the philosophies of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jeremy Bentham, Frederick Douglass, Friedrich Nietzsche and Rosa Luxemburg amongst others. It seems that these giant minds we wrestling with many of the same questions that we have today. How do we get better politics and who allowed these lunatics to run society?
