In this episode, I got to talk with Dr. Stephen Hicks. Dr. Hicks is a Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University and a Professor at Peterson Academy. He is the author of several books including, Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, Nietzsche and the Nazis: A Personal View, and Liberalism: Pro & Con. He is also the host of a podcast called Open College and has taught two courses at Peterson Academy; Modern Philosophy and Postmodern Philosophy.

In our discussion, Dr. Hicks and I talked about his two courses at Peterson Academy, he gave an overview of both modern and postmodern philosophy, we talked about the Quakers and their influence on the modern church, and we discussed the decline of postmodernism and what comes after it. I hope you enjoy!
