33. The Trial of David Hume: Edinburgh Part I

Abject lowlifes at the University of Edinburgh canceled its most important alumnus, its one intellectual giant, the enlightenment philosopher who put the city on the map. His name is off the big tower. His statue sits defaced. David Hume's crime: a racist footnote in 1756. Let's sneak over the cobblestones of essays moral political and literary in the middle of the night, while everyone in town's asleep, and find out what these people are missing (or are they right and must I disavow???) -- and whether straight men can be friends.   Enjoy this free episode.
