About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Geoffrey Vaughan, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science at Assumption University, to discuss the intersection of political philosophy, government regulations, and the historical development of the progressive movement. Dr. Vaughan brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation, drawing from his extensive background in political theory, philosophy, and higher education.

We explore topics in relation to Plato's philosopher king concept . With references to influential thinkers and historical contexts, this episode offers thought-provoking insights into the challenges and possibilities of leadership, education, and civic responsibility.

Dr. Vaughan’s scholarly expertise includes publications like Behemoth Teaches Leviathan: Thomas Hobbes on Political Education and Leo Strauss and His Catholic Readers. He has also written extensively on religion, politics, and the cultural landscape of higher education.
