Good morning philosophers,

I really enjoyed the opportunity this week to mine the wisdom from of the greatest—yet often overlooked—philosophers of all time. I hope you did too.

I love witnessing the surprise or delight when one realizes that Dr. King wasn’t only an activist (though he very much was!) but first a philosopher. Or hearing from the often unstudied corners of Aztec wisdom literature, or from the first woman to have her philosophical work preserved.

And it’s not too late for your voice if you want to hop over to our thread from Thursday and share about your philosophical journey for other readers to learn from and engage.

I’ll leave the roundup below, feel free to jump in to any that you missed or want to read again.

Which episode was your favorite? Leave a comment to start a conversation.

Until next week my friends, have a restful weekend.

Matt
