In this inaugural episode of <em>Ideas Through Time</em>, we discuss some big picture topics like, what time periods are included in the history of western philosophy? What even is 'philosophy'? And why should we care about the history of philosophy? Join me on my exciting quest through the history of western thought, tracing intellectual developments from ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary times! <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 002 – Greek & Roman Philosophy

Ideas Through Time is a podcast written and presented by myself, Zach Agoff. In the broadest possible sense, it is a chronological presentation of the history of western philosophy, starting from the ancient Greeks, working progressively toward contemporary philosophy. Through brief, pithy episodes I bring the history of philosophy alive for public consumption and enjoyment, tracking the various treatments of – you got it – ideas through time. Discussing some of the central questions of human existence, we'll see how some of the intellectual greats answered these questions and, through debate and disagreement, got us to where we are today.Support for the show would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
