This is the continuation of the series on Plato's Republic. Book III is where Plato goes a little off the rails. Got a terminal disease? Might as well kick the bucket.
The commonplace book is a compendium of knowledge gleaned from years of reading, but it has to start somewhere.
In this episode we discuss Josh Gibbs's excellent book, "Something They Will Not Forget." Check it. It's pretty solid.
This episode is the continuation of A.J.'s series on Plato's Republic.
In this episode, Graeme teaches us about the notion of teaching through mimesis, which is that knowing the soul of the learner and teaching through example are paramount.
Thomas takes us further into the Enneagram, and teaches us about all the extra information that comes with the Ennegram that makes it useful for practical counselling and life in general.
This is a little history of the seven deadly sins and the seven virtues. I know we've hit this topic before, but . . . uh . . . here it is again.
It's Paideia week at Veritas, which means we get to record a live podcast. Graeme is at the helm for this one, and we discuss hermeneutics.
In this episode, we review the life and heresies of Augustine of Hippo, who's apparently far more relatable than OTHER saints I could mention.
This is the first episode of a series on Plato's Republic. I swear it's not as boring as it sounds. We'll see how far we get before A.J. gets distracted and decides to do something else.
The Romans thought much of discipline, and we can learn from them a good way to balance the Folly we talked about last episode.
Desiderius Erasmus is a great name, and he wrote a satire in which the goddess Folly gives an extemporaneous speech in praise of herself. It's great. Let's get silly.
We didn't get into the story of Brave New World in the last podcast about Huxley's excellent novel, but we do in this one! Take some Soma, hop in your Ford, and come along.
No episode this week. See you next week!
In this episode, we return to T.S. and learn a little about his later poetry and stuff. Turns out he's a pretty neat guy (who had a four year stint of crazy no-poetry-time).
