Slick Dissident | The Philosophical Dialectic: Theory vs. Praxis, Esotericism & Thucydides' Trap
Can Philosophy Purify Politics...?
InnerVerse champion Slick Dissident returns for a discussion about the core dialectic of philosophy: theory and praxis. We discuss the relationship of the archetypal enneagram to social engineering, the secret nature of higher knowledge, the virtuality of virtue, comparative rhetoric and direct vs. esoteric communication, analytic continental philosophy, the hermetic law of half-truths, and Thucydides' Trap.
In the Plus+ Extension we ponder whether the philosopher is a fundamentally different sort of human being, Plato's Republic and the ultimate "bad job" of the utopian state, how esotericism insulates reason from politics, the anti-tragic progressive humanism that Western society is built on, Mercurial "poiesis" as the balance between theory and praxis, and the modern "noble lie" that is social justice. All that and much more!
