Philosophers and theologians will be discussing basic history, problems, and issues in political philosophy and one of its instruments for violent enforcement of its norms: law and philosophy of law (the other instrument being war). This podcast series is for a modern non-academic audience and from a working class perspective varying from ancient pre-Socratic to modern philosophies and theologies of language, science, existentialism, and pragmatism. The emphasis is on how dominant philosophies have and do affect the working classes throughout history because this is the group of people who suffer the worst and adverse affects of whatever are the dominant philosophical ideals of any given age and who usually are the least knowledgeable about the nature of the ideals and why they are dominant. Theology is studied as a branch of philosophy and not as religious theology. Both Western and Eastern perspectives will be covered.
