  • Episode #240 ... Varieties of Religion Today (Charles Taylor)

    Episode #240 ... Varieties of Religion Today (Charles Taylor)
    Nov 8 2025
    Today we talk more about the work of Charles Taylor and his book The Varieties of Religion Today. We look at different answers to a classic question around religious belief. The sociological and structural role that religion plays at any given point in history. Paleo, Neo and Post Durkheim versions of religious society. What religion becomes in the age of authenticity we live in. We paint a picture of the very unique spiritual predicament the modern person has to navigate. Hope you love it. :) Sponsors: Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help.

  • Episode #239 ... Authenticity and the history of the self. (Charles Taylor)

    Episode #239 ... Authenticity and the history of the self. (Charles Taylor)
    Oct 17 2025
    Today we talk about the work of the philosopher Charles Taylor. First, we trace the historical origins of how he views the modern self. From the Greeks to the Reformation. From Descartes to Rousseau. The modern self to him is something "irreconcilably multileveled". Then we talk about our modern focus on authenticity as a moral ideal and why Taylor thinks many people misunderstand what it requires. Hope you love it! :) Sponsors: The Perfect Jean: https://theperfectjean.nyc Code: PT15 Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Thank you so much for listening!

    Episode #238 ... Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
    Oct 8 2025
    Today we talk about the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. We talk about the mix of Romantic and Enlightenment attitudes and how it leads to problems without the proper oversight. We talk about technology and the responsibility that comes with creation. We talk about how ostracized people often learn to resent the world they live in. Hope you love it and have a great week! :) Sponsors: Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis Thank you so much for listening!

Start at the beginning and hit play, that's all!

Stephen West, if you're reading this, your show is exceptional. please don't stop, even if we get hit by an apocalypse! (speaking of, please make an episode on apocalyptic societal philosophy/structures)

my favourite way to enjoy this podcast was by going for late night walks with my dog while listening to this. Excellent examples, great dissection of the literature and teaches you how thinking has changed over Millenia. I came with an open mind, and left with a full one, motivated to continue my pursuit in philosophy. I've recommended this to many people IRL.

Best way to start your philosophy journey
