In this episode I track the conflict between realism and idealism all the way back to Plato and Aristotle in Arthur Herman's epic 'The Cave and the Light: Plato Versus Aristotle and the Struggle for the Soul of Western Civilization.' We explore Aristotle's influence on John Locke and the Enlightenment, and seek to assemble a philosophy that embraces empiricism, pragmatism, and the constrained vision.

Nature and the Nation explores the intersection of national conservatism and philosophical naturalism. This podcast uses the format of a book review to explore philosophy, psychology, economics, politics, and sociology through the lens of this exploration, with a particular focus on existentialism, evolutionary psychology, Ancient Greece, the American Old Right, and the European New Right.
