In the episode of our first series, we begin to zoom in on Greek &amp; Roman Philosophy. In particular, we discuss the significance of the first Greek philosophers, the presocratics, and why they represent an important shift in worldviews. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 003 – Thales

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.
