Capitalist Realism: Can we think beyond capitalism?

In this episode John  and Richard discuss a text which was referred to in an earlier podcast. 'De Rerum Natura'  -  'On the Nature of Things'. On of the most remarkable books ever written, On the Nature of Things' by the Roman author Lucretius was an influence on many of the greatest thinkers and artists in the last 2000 years. It was written in the first century BCE by a wealthy Roman as a means of explaining the philosophy of Epicurus to his fellow Romans and in poetic form it contains ideas which are startlingly modern and  as exciting to a modern reader as they were to his contemporaries. In this episode I explain my admiration for this book to Richard. https://www.facebook.com/groups/333603241740844/ https://sites.google.com/view/wwwphilosophytodaynet/home   ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-gibbs1/message

In this episode we discuss Plato's theory of Forms and consider if it is helpful in understanding art and beauty today. The theory of Forms or theory of Ideas is a philosophical, concept, or world-view, that the physical world is not as real or true as timeless, absolute, unchangeable ideas of forms. How can this theory be useful in our post modern world? Do we still have any belief in universal truth?
