Michael Millerman is a philosopher, the founder of MillermanSchool.com, and the author of the books 'Inside Putin's Brain', and 'Beginning With Heidegger'.

I invited him on the show to discuss the seeming trend toward revisiting religion, the role of philosophy, and the central importance of 'Truth' in individuals, families, communities, and civilizations.

Enjoy!
