A Short History of Modern Philosophy — How Modern Thought Built Authority
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores A Short History of Modern Philosophy: From Descartes to Wittgenstein by Roger Scruton as a systems-level analysis of how modern philosophy functions as an institutional mechanism shaping belief, authority, and political legitimacy.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these epistemic systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures that define modern life.
