Philosophy and Contemplation: Perils & Promises (Part 2)

We continue last week's discussion about the perils and promised of philosophy and contemplation. In that show, we focused on the claim made by Plato's Gorgias, that intense philosophizing leads to a life of "out of touchness". We pick up our discussion about the relationship between philosophy and action. Does philosophical activity -- owing to its unique pleasure -- make practical activity less likely? We focus our discussion on Justice and engage in a discussion about the relationship between justice and activity.
