Description
A podcast where two mates discuss philosophy, politics and intellectual history, because Ideas Matter.
Ideas Matter is hosted by Louis, a PhD student in political theory, and Alex, a humanities teacher.
Each episode is structured around the work of a great thinker. We aim to explore their ideas in an accessible manner, without dumbing them down.
No topic is off limits: the theology of Saint Augustine, Lenin's revolutionary theory, Marx's critique of capitalism, Platonic discussions on love, or Nietzsche's metaphysical musings.
