Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Lost for centuries after the fall of Rome, Aristotle’s work was rediscovered in medieval times and translated by Muslim, Christian, and Jewish scholars. The ensuing renaissance stirred controversial new ideas on everything from biology to physics to philosophy. How Aristotle’s teachings transformed the Western world, and their relevancy in today’s political and cultural debate.
