Episode Synopsis

What is political theory and how does its study fit into liberal education? Does a change in music prefigure a change in political regimes? These and other questions are taken up in this conversation with Prof. Chris Wolfe. In hindsight, who would have thought that both Plato and “The Plastic People of the Universe would come up in the same podcast?
