In this week’s episode, we welcome philosopher Cătălin Partenie, an expert on Plato and the role of myths in philosophy. Growing up in communist Romania, his intellectual journey took him from underground rock concerts to studying philosophy under a totalitarian regime. He is the editor of »Plato: Selected Myths« and »Plato’s Myths« and has written »The Golden Burrow«, a novel inspired by his youth. We discuss the enduring power of Platonic myths, the role of dialogue in philosophy, and why he believes philosophy and storytelling belong together.

How did growing up in Ceaușescu’s Romania shape his philosophical outlook? Can Plato’s »Republic« still offer insights into today’s world? And what can myths teach us about truth?
