Aftershow (Preview) on Antigone with Danny Lobell

Comedian Danny Lobell of the Modern Day Philosophers podcast and our own Wes Alwan were joined for a discussion of Antigone by PEL citizens Daniel Cole, David Buchanan, Erik Weissengruber, Frank Marcopolos, and Terra Leigh Bell. We talked a little about how to distinguish acting on principle from acting out of personal pride (and whether these can be distinguished); whether Creon is just drunk with power or believes he's doing the right thing; and about a whole host of other marginally related things, including race and Rachel Dolezal.

This is a short preview of a 2-hr conversation.
