Casă pe Piatră59: De ce știința nu e suficientă și cum să caute copiii înțelepciunea? cu Prof. Adrian GuiuEpisodul de azi a fost pentru mine ca o întâlnire cu înțelepciunea.
O discuție absolut fascinantă despre educație, filosofie și religie și o temă de gândit pentru noi părinții ca să reușim să îi îndrumăm pe copii să cunoască lumea nu doar prin intermediul rațiunii ci și al sufletului și a inimii.
Știința nu e suficientă în educație, dar cum îi îndrumăm pe copii să caute înțelepciunea?

Godward: A Lit-Wisdom PodcastEpisode 44: Boethius on Truth and ConsequencesIn this Truthful episode, Straussians are BTFO’d by one of the greatest men to ever live, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius — better known simply as Boethius. What can we do about the Woke brigade, cancel culture, and our lingering sense that the world that existed for our grandfathers was in some sense truer and more natural than the one we find ourselves in? Should we use cryptic language and parables, should we dodge persecution, make compromises, and let the executioner take our allies before they take us? Or should we do the right thing and simply endure the consequences? What...

The Fleming FoundationBoethius Book Club, Episode 5: On the Consolation of PhilosophyThe book is the classic written by our inspiration and patron, Boethius: On the Consolation of Philosophy. For well over 1000 years, this book—the reflections of a condemned man on what makes life worth living—was required reading for anyone who pretended to the smallest degree of literacy. It was translated by two English monarchs (Alfred and Elizabeth I) and represented the introduction to philosophy that people in the Medieval period received. It is that rare gift of literature—a profound book addressed not to specialists and geniuses but to everyday men and women.
As luck would have it, our discus...
