Listen "The Philosopher King"
Episode Synopsis
Frederick II, better known as Frederick the Great, was truly a figure who defied easy categorization. Born into a world where the old hierarchies were under siege by the rising tides of the Enlightenment, Frederick managed to straddle these two realities. His reign was defined by an uncanny ability to blend the old-world militarism of his father with the reformist ideals of the new age. Yet, Frederick’s story isn’t just about his reign—it’s also a deeply human tale of conflict, resilience, and transformation.
