John Holbo is making progress at “On Beyond Zarathustra” in terms of that conversion (but still not complete).
6 ancient female philosophers you should know about
https://theconversation.com/wise-women-6...out-156033
INTRO: When we conjure up ancient philosophers the image that springs to mind might be a bald Socrates discoursing with beautiful young men in the sun, or a scholarly Aristotle lecturing among cool columns. But what about Aspasia, the foreign mistress of the foremost politician in Athens who gave both political and erotic advice? Or Sosipatra, mystic, mother and Neoplatonist who was a more popular teacher than her husband, Eustathius?
Women also shaped the development of philosophy. Although their writings, by and large do not survive, their verbal teaching made a significant impact on their contemporaries, and their voices echo through the ages. More than two millennia later, intelligent, verbal women still struggle to have their own voices heard. So here are six ancient female philosophers you should know about...(MORE)
COVERED: 1. Aspasia of Miletus ..... 2. Clea ..... 3. Thecla ..... 4. Sosipatra ..... 5. Macrina the Younger ..... 6. Hypatia of Alexandria
Value of Philosophy at Brain in a Vat
https://justinweinberg.org/2021/03/08/va...-in-a-vat/
INTRO: Brain in a Vat is a philosophy podcast and video channel hosted by Jason Werbeloff and Mark Oppenheimer. They recently invited me on to talk about the value of philosophy, touching on matters such as the kind of knowledge philosophy produces, how philosophy can make people’s lives better, how philosophy contributes to aesthetic appreciation, whether philosophy makes progress, risky questions, the analytic-Continental divide in philosophy, and more.
The podcast is available via all the usual podcast services and on Youtube. It’s also right here [below].
As usual, it takes me a little while to get warmed up, I have my fair share of verbal clumsiness, and there’s a lot more that can be said about all of the topics we cover. That said, I think it was an interesting and fun conversation. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions in the comments here [this Disagree blogsite page].
