Description (podcaster-provided):

Welcome to Premise Podcast. This is your host Angelos Sofocleous.
In this podcast, I will be inviting a fellow philosopher each week to discuss a topic in an area of philosophy, including, but not limited to, metaphysics, ethics, phenomenology, aesthetics, epistemology, philosophy of religion, philosophy of language, and environmental philosophy. The podcast will also feature conversations related to politics, religion, and society.
The name of the podcast, Premise Podcast, signifies what the podcast is about: Introducing, challenging, and contrasting different premises before reaching any conclusion - if we are going to reach a conclusion. Sometimes, the conclusion might just be that a conclusion is unreachable.
This podcast will offer the opportunity to the public to explore and understand complex concepts in philosophy which will be presented in a clear and intelligible manner.
I am grateful that you are joining me on this quest to make philosophy public and I hope that this podcast will promote fruitful discussions and provide you with the opportunity to enrich your knowledge of philosophy.

Premise Podcast, hosted by Angelos Sofocleous, is a philosophy-focused show that delves into various areas of philosophical inquiry, aiming to make complex concepts accessible to a broader audience. Each episode features a conversation with a different philosopher, providing a platform for exploring topics ranging from metaphysics, ethics, and phenomenology to aesthetics, epistemology, and the philosophy of religion and language. The podcast also ties these philosophical discussions to broader societal issues, including politics and religion.

In keeping with its title, Premise Podcast emphasizes the examination and comparison of different philosophical premises, allowing discussions to evolve without necessarily reaching a concrete conclusion. This open-ended approach is echoed in the episodes, which cover a diverse array of themes. Some episodes explore philosophical figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche, while others dive into ethical considerations in contexts such as war and peace, agency and responsibility, and moral psychology.

The discussions often integrate well-known philosophical concepts like Nietzsche’s Übermensch and reactive versus objective attitudes, providing insights into how these ideas relate to contemporary issues. The podcast also draws on the expertise of its guests, who are accomplished academics with a wealth of knowledge in their respective areas of philosophy.

Listeners are invited to engage with these discussions to deepen their understanding of philosophy and its application to modern life. The podcast is distributed on multiple platforms, including Soundcloud, Google Podcasts, iTunes, and Spotify, and it invites audience support through Patreon to further its mission of bringing philosophy to the public arena.
