Hey everyone, super glad you're here. This is Episode 1 of what I call the Modern Sage Philosophy (MSP) project, inspired by the work of the Kenyan philosopher Henry Odera Oruka. In this series, I hope to interview philosophers who live and work in worlds outside of Western philosophy. This episode is a conversation with Dr Elvis Imafidon on themes in the African Philosophy world. I hope you find this interesting.

Hey everyone, in this episode, I have a conversation with Julie Uszpolewicz, the editor-in-chief of Phi Magazine, a quarterly publication aimed at showcasing the creative talents of Philosophy students across the globe. Julie has a lot of super cool philosophical/cultural/political insights, and this conversation explores a few of them. We discuss Dune, the Biblical Fall of Man in Political Philosophy and Postmodernism (with a few other cool things sprinkled in). I hope you find this...

Hey everyone. In this episode, I chat with Erifili and Aspa, hosts of the Espresso Epilogues podcast, and we talk about love. This is part two of our conversation on their podcast about the Philosophy of Love and Plato, Kierkegaard and Dostoyevsky. In this one, we focus mainly on Alain de Botton's great book - Essays in Love. I'd definitely recommend reading the book if you haven't before. We talk about love/lack, loving vs being loved, attractiveness, and other interesting things.

In this series, we'll go through a number of poets from Eastern and Western traditions and vibe with their poems about love, God, humanity, family, friendship and other fun stuff. I'll be reading the poems while improvising the music so we can experience the poetry together. I think the vibes are solid, and I hope you do, too. This first episode is on Rabia Basra, an Islamic poet and mystic. This episode also includes an introduction to the book Love Poems from God.

Welcome to the first episode. Glad you're here. In this one, I think out loud for a few minutes about my philosophy of vibing. I talk briefly about some of the thinkers that have shaped this philosophy and my apprach to it. We'll vibe with Kierkegaard, Sartre, LaoZi, Epictetus and Jesus as we try to figure out what it means to vibe.
