Today we dive into perhaps the most important and also misunderstood thinker in all of philosophy: Plato.
Was Plato an idealist who believed we are trapped in a cave of unreality? Was he a totalitarian, advocating the "noble lie" and censorship? Or is there more going on in this (in)famous text that is somehow both the foundation of Western philosophy and also -- seemingly -- the aggregation of everything most hated by Western man?
Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
