Athens Special: Plato vs. Art

Welcome back to Let's Dig Deeper! Today is the final episode of season 1 of the podcast - we're wrapping up with the 10th episode of the podcast, which also happens to be the final of the Athens episodes. Today we're talking with philologist Rasmus Sevelsted about Plato! More specifically, his views on art and culture. How did the forms play a role in his worldview? What responsibility does art and artists have in society? What ideals should we teach our children? These are some of the questions we're gonna answer in this episode. On a more personal note, I'm so happy that so many of you have tuned in for episodes of Let's Dig Deeper in the past year. Following today's episode, I'll be taking a hiatus to start production on season 2 of the podcast. There is already a lot of exciting stuff in the pipeline, and I look forward to making it as great as possible for you guys - so stay tuned! We'll dig deeper together soon x
