Sophia’s Coracle

I spent most of 2019 and early 2020 writing about moral philosophy based on my 45 years of reading and reflection. This started as a reply to what I saw as a glaring absence of historical context and critical thinking about the philosophy of information. The work became a brief chronicle of moral philosophy from ancient times to the early 21st century and was presented as a series if blogposts on this site. This was not intended to be the last word on anything. Rather, it is a trail of breadcrumbs. I don’t attempt to hide or apologize for my foundation or conclusions. It is important to note that this was written before the COVID lockdown but that changed little for me.

In Summer of 2021 I recorded the material with realtime edits and no post production. These were posted to my Patreon site as unlocked content and have been copied here without alteration.
