On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Peter Adamson discuss his book series ‘A History of Philosophy without any Gaps,’ which aims to provide a comprehensive and inclusive history of philosophy. The project initially focused on filling historical gaps in the teaching of philosophy, but it expanded to cover minor figures, non-Western philosophy, and female philosophers. Together they discuss the relationship between philosophy, art, and religion. Dr. Adamson also explains the Akan theory of mind and method of sage philosophy.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
