Podcast Overview
<p><i>Welcome to the Embodying Philosophy podcast! In modern times, we all too often think of philosophy as abstract ideas, disconnected from how we live our lives. But, in ancient and premodern times, philosophy was a way of life. This podcast seeks to revive this understanding; embodying philosophy as the practice of meaningful enquiry in relation to our lives as they are lived today, </i>— through conversations, contemplations, and perspectives from yoga, mystical Christianity, and beyond.</p>
