This is a taster episode from my recent series on the history of Philosophy from my new 2026 podcast series. 'The Living In Faith Everyday Podcast'. (The L.I.F.E. Podcast). 

This is my Bi-Monthly podcast that seeks to respond to and engage with the world of Philosophy and current trends in the Arts and Entertainment from a Christian Perspective.

Season 1 - Part 11. Zeno, Empedocles, and Anaxagoras - Paradox, Powers, and the Mind Behind the Cosmos.

This is the episode in which the Presocratic world becomes even stranger by the entry of three remarkable figures—each brilliant in their own way, each eccentric, each offering a different way forward.

Zeno of Elea — The Master of Paradox
He is the first philosopher to make the world feel like a glitch in the matrix.
Empedocles — The Poet, Magician, and Scientist.
It is poetry disguised as physics, or is it physics disguised as poetry, but it was the first attempt to explain change without denying permanence.
Then Anaxagoras — The Philosopher Who Introduced the concept of the mind
Finally, we arrive at Anaxagoras, the thinker who brought something entirely new into the conversation:
Nous—The Mind. and that behind creation stands a Mind, a Logos, a Creator.... So step into the world of paradoxes, cosmic forces, and the first philosophical vision of a universe shaped by intelligence….
