If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don t we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we re partisans of liberty, then it s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”― J.R.R.

Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”― Dr. Seuss“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.”― Plato“Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.”― Isaac Asimov, Foundation 1 Month One month of full access$10Per month, auto-renewingUnlimited access to Philosophy TalkComplete archive availabilityPodcasts of new episodesSIGN UP NOW!3 Months Three months of full access$24Per 3 month term, auto-renewingUnlimited access to Philosophy TalkComplete archive availabilityPodcasts of new episodes20% discount Only $8.00 per monthSIGN UP NOW!6 Months Six months of full access$45Per 6 month term, auto-renewingUnlimited access to Philosophy TalkComplete archive availabilityPodcasts of new episodes25% discount Only $7.50 per monthSIGN UP NOW!12 Months twelve months of full access$80Per 12 month term, auto-renewingUnlimited access to Philosophy TalkComplete archive availabilityPodcasts of new episodes33% discount Only $6.67 per monthSIGN UP NOW!
