Listen "”Leisure the Basis of Culture” with Dr. Michael Bolin"
Episode Synopsis
Once every semester at Wyoming Catholic College, we hold an All-School Seminar. For the fall seminar, a week ago, all of our students and faculty read and discussed Pieper’s Leisure: The Basis of Culture.
Pieper wrote in 1947 in what was a devastated Germany. Everything was damaged or destroyed and workers were a vital necessity at all levels of the culture. It was a world of what he calls "total work," a world he believed would lose its soul without leisure properly understood.
Philosopher Dr. Michael Bolin attended one of student-led seminars and had this to share.
