There is a whole lot of things going around my head, that I would like to put out there. Still, it is important to just briefly go into some more general questions on what political theory texts can and cannot do for us. Because I do take liberties and I believe in my right to do so and that it is actually helpful. But I do not dismiss the concerns that many people have had with people doing this in a sort of cavalier way. A lot can go wrong if you do that.
So, the newest episode looks at some ways we might want to look at political theory texts – historically, but I believe even beyond that. How to understand the meaning of things, really. And it gives some very handy perspectives for you to take along into your life. So this is not some boring episode on methods, more of a reprieve from immediate problems to make sure our posture is right, before we proceed. So enjoy my look at Quentin Skinner’s four mythologies – and makeup your own mind. As always I provided a page on the episode for you with some resources you might find useful.
