Though we are ourselves dedicated to the Catholic intellectual tradition, we are likewise committed to exploring ideas from all rigorous traditions of philosophizing (scholastic, classical, analytic, and phenomenological). We pursue this mission by providing long-form guided readings of great texts, discussions with expert guests, our own open-ended philosophical discussions of issues and thinkers, live question and answer opportunities, in depth lecture courses, and our own articles and book-length writings. Philosophy for the People's pedagogical materials will be provided either without charge or for minimal cost to assure provision of broad access to first-rate philosophical education.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T00:19:08.945089+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/philosophy-for-the-people-5635184"},"episode":{"title":"Boethius, the Good, and Philosophy as Therapy w/ Dr. Tom Ward","slug":"boethius-the-good-and-philosophy-as-therapy-w-dr-tom-ward","published_at":"2024-10-28T23:44:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/philosophy-for-the-people-5635184/boethius-the-good-and-philosophy-as-therapy-w-dr-tom-ward","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/philosophy-for-the-people-5635184","url":"https://accf9c8b-5219-4c6c-857e-621c33f27452.libsyn.com/boethius-the-good-and-philosophy-as-therapy-w-dr-tom-ward","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/accf9c8b-5219-4c6c-857e-621c33f27452/Tom_Ward.mp3?dest-id=3591045","summary":"Pat is joined once again by Dr. Thomas Ward, this time to discuss his recent book After Stoicism: The Last Words of the Last Roman Philosopher.
