    S1 Ep24: Immanuel Kant
    2021/09/23
    In the last episode of the season, Jorrel and Max discuss one of the most famous philosophers in history, Immanuel Kant. Join the guys as they take an in-depth look at his all too important work Perpetual Peace, from 1795. Learn how Kant predicted the future, how nature always finds a way, and why we don’t actually need war anymore. Kant left us instructions for finding lasting peace, so why don’t we follow it? Listen in as Jorrel and Max talk about really important concepts that could actually make a difference in the world if people would just listen to Kant!

    Major Talking Points

    • Transcendental Idealism and Kant’s views on human rights
    • Universal laws and the understanding of human existence
    • Perpetual Peace and what it can provide

    • China, the BRI, and international loans
    • American Imperialism of the past and its effect on the present.
    • The importance and impact of globalization.

    Max and Jorrel go international. This week they are joined by Matt McEnery, a graduate student pursuing a joint master’s in economic governance and public affairs. Matt is currently in Rome, which makes him the perfect candidate to talk with the guys about all things international. This episode tackles the conflict in Afghanistan, the power of China, and the consequences of economic sanctions. Will this episode overturn the military-industrial complex? Not at all, but the guys are passionate about talking about how much US military actions affect the rest of the world and other thought-provoking questions involving understanding other cultures and the positive implications that have on international legislation. This topic is massive and complex, but Matt is here to help!
