About this episode

This episode introduces The Reading Group, a podcast where academics discuss Plato's Crito.

Listen to The Reading Group here: https://shows.acast.com/the-reading-group Four academics and former academics read the second half of Plato's Crito, reading a few paragraphs at a time and pausing to discuss what they've heard. This podcast is modelled on the reading groups that professors and graduate students in political theory have participated in for generations. No prior knowledge is required. Join us and experience a classic text the way scholars often do: by reading it slowly, carefully, and together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
