10 Books that Screwed Up the World
10 Books that Screwed Up the World
A Podcast Series about the old ideas that've shaped the Western Worldview
If you want to understand the culture, you need to understand philosophy. But if that task seems overwhelming, this podcast series is just for you.
Benjamin Wiker’s book, 10 Books that Screwed Up the World, is easy to read and allows anyone to engage with some of the most destructive ideas in Western philosophy. To help you out, I’ve recorded a special episode of raZe the roof to go along with each chapter. Together, the book and the podcast offer you a great way to understand how these thinkers (whether you know it or not) have shaped your worldview.
Ep 7 - Machiavelli and the Art of Power
Ep 12: Descartes and Dualist Identity
Ep 15: The Leviathan of Christian Atheism
