Hobbes and Rousseau in Dune

mardi 12 mars 2024 • Durée 01:45:56

One could argue that Frank Herbert's Dune is an attempt to wrestle with the ideas of Hobbes and Rousseau when it comes to governing. Can government successfully intertwine the consent of the governed with an absolute central authority? Dune may have some unexpected answers for us.

Shooting Niagara: And After? by Thomas Carlyle

vendredi 23 février 2024 • Durée 03:29:09

In this episode, Gurnee and Idaho wrap up their Carlyle homework with a discussion on Shooting Niagara: And After?. This essay remarks on England's Reform Act of 1867 which further extended voting right to male urban working men: "This delirious 'new Reform measure'...pushes us at once into the Niagara rapids: irresistibly propelled, with ever-increasing velocity, we shall now arrive".

Carlyle makes additional critiques to democracy and also points to some predictions and solutions to the problem. He particularly puts his faith in the aristocracy to reassert itself and has ideas on where new elites can be found.

Our gallant hosts also attempt to apply Carlyle's philosophy of to modern day politics.

Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle Pt. 4 and Conclusion

jeudi 21 décembre 2023 • Durée 02:16:33

In this episode, we cover the last two chapters of Latter Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle.

In "Hudson Statue" we learn that whatever a person mumbles under their breath at their weekly worship is nothing compared to their practical hero worship. In this, they reveal their true faith and their highest values. We know it to be false when someone claims they are an atheist or not religious because every person has someone they look up to. Everyone has a hero. It follows that society should be judged or understood best by its heroes rather than its proclaimed religion or no-religion.

In "Jesuitism" we learn about Carlyle's beef with Ignatius Loyola and Jesuitism. We also build on the idea of religion's important role in defining thought and reality. Words and actions are a reflection of one's thoughts. Thoughts are a reflection of one's religion. Therefore if we understand the religion of a society we can understand why the people in it do what they do.

Explore these concepts and more with us in this episode!

Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle Pt. 3

lundi 27 novembre 2023 • Durée 02:01:10

The Aristocrats discuss chapters 5-6 of Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle. Latter Day Pamphlets were published in 1850 in the aftermath of the liberal revolutions of 1948.

In this episode, we discuss each chapter's main themes and best quotes, such as why prominent organs of government and institutions have degraded into mere talking apparatuses, and we begin to understand Carlyle's idea of the role that parliaments and suffrages should play in society.

"Parliament, Parlamentum, is by express appointment the Talking Apparatus; yet not in Parliament either is the essential function, by any means, talk. Not to speak your opinion well, but to have a good and just opinion worth speaking,-for every Parliament, as for every man, this latter is the point. Contrive to have a true opinion, you will get it told in some way, better or worse; and it will be a blessing to all creatures. Have a false opinion, and tell it with the tongue of Angels, what can that profit? The better you tell it, the worse it will be"

Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle Pt. 2

jeudi 26 octobre 2023 • Durée 02:12:59

The Aristocrats discuss chapters 3-4 of Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle. Latter Day Pamphlets were published in 1850 in the aftermath of the liberal revolutions of 1948. In this episode, we discuss each chapter's main themes and best quotes, such as the problems with the government, why talented men shy away from working in it, and why voting isn't an effective means for finding the best people to run the government.

"So he gallops stormfully along, thinking it is forward and forward; and alas, it is only round and round, out of one old lane into the other; -nay (according to some) "he mistakes his own footprints, which of course grow ever more numerous, for the sign of a more and more frequented road;" and his despair is hourly increasing."
