We continue reading the summary and analysis of Descartes' Meditations for Meditations 2 through 4.

Reading the synopsis and analysis of Descartes' Meditations 1, looking at radical doubt, the dream analogy, and an argument about evil genus.  New microphone, better sound, hope you enjoy! Hit me up on Twitter with any comments: https://twitter.com/tPhilosophia. 

We finish the discourse on what comes about by reason in Plato's Timaeus, where Plato introduces the concept of space-chora into the history of Western Philosophy.

Socrates tells the court that should they convict him and put him to death, they will likely not find another gadfly to question and meaningfully pester them. He also explains why he will not be bringing up his family and children to plead for his life, as he is expected to do. As he rests his case, the jury begins their deliberations. 

We continue reading from Plato's Apology as Socrates explains why he is so unpopular and questions Meletus about the charges brought against him. Also in this segment one of Socrates arguments against fearing death, and his claim that he is a gift to the city from the Gods. Good stuff! Let me know how you feel about speaking vs whispering in this episode.
