Episode description

Alex, David, and Greg are back again this week, but they leave the realm of hard philosophy books to tease out the underlying political philosophy in Shakespeare's lesser-known, but nevertheless important play, Measure for Measure. Listen in as they talk about everything from how Machiavelli influences Shakespeare to what the phrase "willy-nilly" actually means.
