E22: Philosophy of Education: Beyond Truth and Falsity The 50 Minute Hour
-
- Philosophy
The boys discuss Cory’s misadventures in his youth doing educational reconnaissance, then St. John of Damascus’ strange propagandistic attack on Islam but why it scandalizes only modern Christians. For dessert, a foray into the very notions and hierarchies of truth at play in modernity and their evolutions parallel to academia and why the latter must be burned to the ground for there to be any hope of a true education, to rise from its ashes like a Phoenix.
