Wisdom at Work

Dr. David Storey’s Wisdom at Work provides an impressive and needed recasting of academically advanced philosophy as a vehicle for practical uses and applications for modern careers outside the ivory tower. David’s achievement is a stimulating reconnection of philosophy and philosophers with the original impetus of Greek philosophy which was an enormously impactful cultural shift - an intellectual movement - that made so much of the best of humanity’s ascent from superstition and myth possible. Wisdom at Work offers a real time travel experience. Participant, including listeners, are able to experience the same mental and spiritual vitality that existed in the trading port towns of the Mediterranean when Greek thinkers, circa 2400 BC, overthrew the tyrants and blazed the trail to all the sciences while never shirking the responsibility each of us has for seeking The Good in all endeavors and phases of the human experience. Enjoy!

This podcast helps people to realize that philosophy doesn’t just sit in the academy, and that in fact one could do philosophy and be a philosopher in a way it was originally conceived — as integrated with life, and essentially interdisciplinary. David Storey has chosen a fascinating set of role models who show how philosophy can be lived and practiced successfully and meaningfully. This is essential listening for anyone who is a student of philosophy or interested in the role of philosophy in society.
