Literary Tales Ep. 7: Gulliver’s Travels and the Art of Philosophical Satire | Discourses on Minerva

In this episode of Literary Tales we examine Jonathan Swift’s incredible mock and satirical travel work, Gulliver’s Travels. In this lecture we explore the work as principally a philosophical satire through Gulliver’s journeys leading to his insanity and dehumanization. Ruminations on philosophy, theology, and John Milton are included.
