Philosophers in the Midst of History

The projects of philosophers do not occur in a historical and cultural vacuum, and understanding the situations they were living in illuminates their philosophical projects and works. This lecture series focuses on examining the historical contexts in which thinkers like Diogenes of Sinope, Meister Eckhart, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Karl Popper were writing in relation to their main ideas.
