Prof. Ryszard Legutko o Unii Europejskiej oczami filozofa | "To była straszliwa naiwność"

Channel Patrons: Resi Capital 🔗https://resicapital.pl and Cavatina 🔗https://cavatina.pl Professor Ryszard Legutko – a distinguished Polish philosopher, author, translator of ancient works, and former MEP – analyzes the profound crisis of contemporary Western civilization. Have ancient Greek values, such as the search for objective truth, goodness, and selfless friendship (philia), been irreversibly displaced by hostility and dispute? Professor Legutko takes viewers on an extraordinary intellectual journey – from his critique of the Athenian demos and Plato's cave, through the backstage of the European Parliament, to the realities of Polish politics. We discuss fundamental topics in political philosophy, the political system, and the history of European integration. Why, in his opinion, has the European Commission become a flawed institution? What is "integration by stealth"? What political system would be safest for Poland, and why was ancient Athenian democracy "ugly"? A good Holistic Podcast is about conversations that prioritize the well-being of others in relationships and society—without polarization or simple judgments. I ask about what builds and allows us to come together despite our differences.
