Ep.44 History of Philosophy: The Renaissance, Humanism and the Rise of Science Part 2
This week, enjoy the spectacle of Danny trying to say the word “consciously”. As god’s job is put in jeopardy by the nascent Enlightenment where can we look for certainty? What does Machiavelli have to offer the budding dictator? Will Danny grow a twirly moustache? Do we need a strong despotic leader to compensate for a crumbling metaphysic? Is Danny the man for the job? What is an ‘indulgence' and what is the going rate for getting out of hell early? Are we in credit in the treasury of merit? How was the Protestant Reformation dependant on the Renaissance? Also, discover the delight of the word “volpeculated”. Never let it be said that we aren’t a full service podcast.
