Today’s revolutionary thinker is Martin Luther, the man who upended the religious, political and intellectual life of Europe, maybe without entirely meaning to. David talks to historian Alec Ryrie about how a German monk took on the entire authority of the Catholic Church and survived the experience. What did he hope to achieve? Who were his principal backers? How did he reimagine the idea of human freedom? And where is his influence most widely felt today?
Out tomorrow on PPF+ a new bonus episode: David talks to Alec Ryrie about Calvin, who may have been the Reformation’s true revolutionary. What was Calvinism and how did it change the world?

O maior acervo genealógico do planeta se chama FamilySearch. Ele é mantido pela Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias, também conhecida como Igreja Mórmon, que guarda mais de 3 bilhões de documentos num cofre no oeste dos Estados Unidos.
O projeto que deu origem ao FamilySearch começou em 1894, apenas seis anos após a assinatura da Lei Áurea, que pôs fim à escravidão no Brasil. Os documentos desse período, no entanto, são escassos. O que se sabe é que o poder não mudou de mãos nos últimos 150 anos.
O Projeto Escravizadores, da Agência Pública, investigou 116 autoridades do Brasil (entre presidentes, senadores e governadores), e descobriu que ao menos 33 delas têm antepassados que tiveram relação com pessoas escravizadas. Alguns sequer sabiam da existência desses laços familiares.
Apesar de ser um assunto tabu, a escravidão moldou o mundo e o Brasil, foi o pilar da construção de muitas esferas de poder e traz impactos até hoje.
Este episódio de podcast, fala sobre como o racismo foi moldado por diferenças irrelevantes do ponto de vista genético, mas impactou o mundo a ponto de permitir que humanos tenham sido escravizados por séculos.

Today’s episode in our history of revolutionary ideas is about a medieval movement that used the ancient past to rethink and reimagine the present and the future. David talks to historian Eric Nelson about humanism and its enormous impact on the history of ideas. How did humanism emerge out of catastrophe? What did it do to the hold of Church and Empire on the medieval mind? Was humanist politics really revolutionary politics? And where is the ‘human’ in humanism?

Today’s episode in our history of revolutionary ideas is about a medieval document that is sometimes thought to contain a ground-breaking promise of basic political rights. David talks to historian Nick Vincent about Magna Carta (1215) and what it did and didn’t actually say. Why did the warring parties agree to it? Was it a constitutional charter or a peace treaty? What happened when its terms were broken? And how did it come to acquire the totemic significance it has today?

Today’s episode in our history of revolutionary ideas explores the world-altering impact of Islam from the seventh century onwards. David talks to the leading Islamic scholar Tim Winter (Abdal Hakim Murad) about what changed – and what didn’t – with the appearance of Islamic law, Islamic culture and Islamic ideas of community. Was Islam really egalitarian? How could a universalist religion encompass so much variety? Why did it spread so fast? And what caused it to split so soon?

Today’s episode in our series on revolutionary ideas is a conversation covering two millennia with the historian Tom Holland exploring the never-ending upending of human understanding brought about by Christianity. How can weakness be the ultimate strength? How can political order be built out of the glorification of suffering? How can a universal religion create so much hierarchical division? And in a Christian world, is it ever possible to escape the charge of hypocrisy?

Just what is so radical about the Socratic method? How does it open up new ways of thinking about the meaning of life? Can anyone do it? And where does it leave 2000+ years of intervening philosophy?

The final episode in our great political films series explores Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest (2023), his haunting take on the home life of the man who ran Auschwitz. This is a film like nothing else. It is not about the banality of evil or the proximity of innocence to horror. Instead it takes us inside a nightmare world from which there is no escape: the grimmest fairy story of them all.
