Episode 4: De Descriptione Temporum
Manage episode 286073777 series 2884828
Once upon a time, C. S. Lewis gave one of his best lectures ever. It was called “De Descriptione Temporum,” and everyone—yes, you too—should read it. We were joined in this episode by Daniel Foucachon, Lydia’s husband and the founder of Roman Roads Press and Kepler Education. We talk about watershed moments in history, pre-Christian and post-modern man, why we should keep the “clean sea breeze” of old books flowing through our minds. In the second half, we also discuss the difference between The Great Books and the great books, and the importance of knowing “your” people.
