Orwellian equality: What can this philosophical outsider teach us about how to live
Manage episode 435691732 series 5397
Few English language writers enjoy the position of authority, even reverence, that the journalist, essayist, novelist George Orwell does.
While Orwell is best known for his novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, he can also be read as developing a provocative moral sensibility — perhaps even an ethical system — in dialogue with the exigencies of war that framed his life, as well as the philosophical traditions that were “in the air” in English culture in the first half of the twentieth century.
