#92: Moral Relativism, Culture Wars and the Sophists
Manage episode 352509719 series 2888361
So excited to dive into Sophists in this episode of the Intellectual Freedom Podcast. We will analyze the philosophies and impact the Sophists have had on modern culture. Especially, looking at moral relativism which has reared its head in modern culture with a vengeance.
Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the upper crust of society has become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can be explained away. Life is one great moral mush .
Along the way analyzing the Sophists we will also look at the rise of the teaching class, as well as the idea of paying for education not for the sake of learning but to acquire the skills and intellect to make money!
Join me on this journey exploring the Sophists, moral relativism, the 'culture wars,' and the beginnings of corporate education.
