Listen "Plato and Aristotle: The Foundations of Political Thought"
Episode Synopsis
What makes a just society? What is the role of virtue in leadership? And how should we live together in community?In this episode of Timeless Insights, we return to ancient Greece to explore the political thought of Plato and Aristotle—two of history’s most influential philosophers.Plato, disillusioned by democracy, imagined a society ruled by philosopher-kings—those guided by wisdom, not popularity.Aristotle, more grounded, believed in practical wisdom, balanced constitutions, and the moral purpose of political life.Together, they laid the groundwork for how we think about justice, governance, and the common good.In a time of polarization and political fatigue, their insights feel more relevant than ever.
