Ep 66 Wolff Peace – Recap 3: The Nature of Man, The Dream of Peace

In this recap episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek explores Part Two of Robert Paul Wolff’s Political Man and Social Man—The Individual and Society: Classical Images of Man. Through thinkers like Aristotle, Hobbes, Bentham, and Marx, we explore philosophical portraits of human nature that undergird political theory. Paired with peace warriors like Malala Yousafzai, Satish Kumar, Leymah Gbowee, and Arundhati Roy, we reflect on how our assumptions about “what people are like” shape everything from law to revolution. Robert Paul Wolff’s Political Man and Social Man is available on Amazon (I’m not an affiliate) Learn more about the series and my books at aviskalfsbeek.com Follow my Kickstarter please: https://www.aviskalfsbeek.com/kickstarter Music: Dalai Llama Rides a Bike by Javier “Peke” Rodriguez.
