The Ancient Philosophy Podcast explores important topics in ancient philosophy, whether that's in India, China, Greece, Rome, the Near East, or beyond.
Hosted by Doug Campbell, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Alma College in Michigan.
In this episode, I discuss the famous Pythagorean doctrine of the music of the heavenly spheres: what our source is for this doctrine, what the view is, and why Aristotle disagreed with it.

48. Ermioni Prokopaki: Knowledge and Perception in Plato's Theaetetus
In this episode, I speak with Ermioni Prokopaki about Plato's Theaetetus. We discuss the central problem that animates the dialogue as well as how it fits into Plato's overall philosophy, but the largest part of our interview, just like the largest part of the Theaetetus, is concerned with whether knowledge is perception.
Host: Doug Campbell, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Alma College.
Interviewee: Ermioni Prokpaki, who completed her PhD in 2023 at the University of Chicago.
