Listen "‘The Play of Lively Minds’: Liberal Education in the Thought of John Henry Newman (David P. Deavel) "
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation with David Deavel, we take up Newman’s understanding of liberal learning, including the role of interpersonal dialogue, Newman’s distinction between the university principle and the collegiate principle, and common misunderstandings of Newman’s Idea of a University. Finally, we consider the relation between the Catholic university and the Church and the role of ‘letters’ in forming the imagination of undergraduates.
