Listen "46. What's Wrong with Modern Education - Ethics"
Episode Synopsis
Having discussed the metaphysical and epistemological ruptures that have impacted education, Difff & James move to ethics. If all education points students towards some conception of good, what is good? How can we come to understand good, especially in a flattened materialist world which doubts our capacity to know, or relativises reality? Is there any such thing as a value neutral education? And how will all of this lead to the final question about anthropology?Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane. Check out Difff's other podcast: Chiron, conversations about the past to help make sense of the present.And James' other podcast: The Art of Inquiry, inquiries into the nature of the world and humanity with expert level guests passionate about their field.Music: 'Inspiring Dreams' by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonCreative Commons CC BY 4.0
