Russia's Orwellian Attack on Ukraine and the Truth

In this episode we will examine how Russia's attack on Ukraine is also an attack on the very idea of truth itself, and we will examine the philosophical roots of how totalitarian regimes crush dissent. We will discuss George Orwell's book 1984, Hannan Arendt's book On the Origins of Totalitarianism, and add in a dash of history from Thucydides.
