Philosophy teacher Merlin Bergeron selects a group of high school students to be 21st-century Peripatetic philosophers. Merlin, as though he were Aristotle redux, teaches them to question things and reflect on the world. Nonetheless, his ironic and sarcastic manner creates waves in the school, because not all of the teachers are willing to put up with his quirks... and neither is his son, the most challenging student he has ever had, and with whom he is trying to rebuild a father-son relationship. Merlin awakens his students to philosophers such as Socrates, Hume, Nietzsche, Epicurus and other names in the history of philosophy and helps them resolve their day-to-day issues, despite certain conflicts along the way. In this second season, Merlin’s modus operandi breaks the rules more radically than the first time around: his teaching takes place outside the classroom. Any space, even a shopping mall, serves as a tool for Merlin to explain the positions of the Cynic philosophers, the Stoics, Descartes, Hobbes, and women philosophers such as Judith Butler and Hipparchia of Maroneia, and apply their doctrines and thoughts to the everyday worries and doubts we face in life.
