Daniel Bonevac explores the history of philosophy with focus on German Idealism and Enlightenment thinkers. Each episode examines a philosopher's core ideas—from Herder's historicism to Schelling's absolute idealism—tracing how these figures shaped debates about ethics, freedom, and consciousness. Rigorous, scholarly, and accessible.
