Welcome to the second episode of A History of Western Philosophy, a podcast series hosted by Phil and Sophie (AI hosts created via NotebookLM). In this series we will trace the evolution of philosophical thought from its earliest roots in ancient Ionia to the modern day. This series is guided primarily by Frederick Copleston’s "A History of Philosophy", with supplemental sources introduced as needed.In this second episode, we explore the enigmatic thinker Pythagoras, drawing primarily on Volume 1 (Greece and Rome) of Copleston’s series and supplementing it with Volume 1 (The Earlier Presocratics and the Pythagoreans) of W. K. C. Guthrie’s comprehensive, in-depth series "A History of Greek Philosophy".This podcast is just a fun side project by a philosophy student who has not found the time yet to make non-AI co-created content. If you enjoyed the episode, I highly recommend supporting Copleston's original work (Amazon Affiliate Links are below). Thanks for listening! I hope you found it interesting, and stay tuned for the next episode.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction(01:24) Pythagoras' Historical Facts Vs.
