Matthew Daude has been a vital presence at Austin Community College for 35 years. Here we discuss a few of the many roles he’s held, including Professor of Philosophy, Chair of the Philosophy Department, and Dean of Liberal Arts—a position he held for 10 years.
Among other topics, we cover his approach to the philosophical discipline, his ongoing intellectual relationship with Aristotle, and his belief that "Liberal Arts Can Save the World". As you’ll hear, he’s quite serious about this idea, and by the end of the episode, I wonder whether you might find yourself inclined to agree.
