Listen "Against Efficiency and Jargon: Liberating Students for Wisdom through Dialogue (Michael Boler)"
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation with Michael Boler, we learn about his intellectual journey as a “late bloomer,” the dynamics and pitfalls of a great books approach to education, and the joys and challenges of teaching students in our own age. Along the way we consider the virtues of intellectual humility, wonder, and the importance of the perennial questions. And in an age in which higher education has become captive to values foreign to it, we consider why an apparently inefficient approach to learning might have the most permanent consequences.
