The Babylonian Talmud and Late Antique Book Culture (Cambridge UP, 2023) argues that the Talmud must be read and understood in the broader context of late ancient discursive and material contexts of books, rhetoric, and technology. As Dr. Amsler's work reveals, the structure and form of the Talmud point to knowledge and mastery of rhetorical training and book production technologies they share with other late ancient books and literary compositions. Her project focuses on understanding this late ancient milieu and how the compilers of the Talmud might have thought of their own literary and compositional practices involved in the work of moving from scraps and excerpts from medical texts, commentaries, speeches, dialogues, and other source material to more composed and rhetorically stylized commentaries on lemmas from the Mishnah. Through attention to the materiality of production and composition as well as rhetoric, Dr. Amsler's book challenges traditional narratives of the oral transmission of the Talmud. As The Babylonian Talmud and Late Antique Book Culture demonstrates, the traditional orality hypothesis misses this complexity and fails to consider the Talmud as enmeshed in late ancient book and aesthetic practices. Beyond the formation of the Babylonian Talmud, however, the book is relevant for anyone interested in ancient book production and data management processes.

About the GuestKolby Atchison serves as the head of school at Clapham School, a classical Christian school in Wheaton, Illinois, that implements the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason. He is a founding director of Educational Renaissance where he speaks, writes, and podcasts on classical Christian education, Charlotte Mason, and modern research. He lives with his wife and three children in Chicagoland. Show NotesIn this episode, Kolby and Adrienne dive into the philosophy of a person and the role of a teacher according to Charlotte Mason. Recently, several neoclassical programs (Memoria Press and Classical Conversations) released videos answering the popular question, "Is Charlotte Mason Classical?" We decided to dive directly into what we believe is the fundamental difference in the tradition of classical ed (which Mason is closely aligned to) and the the progressive classical movement (otherwise known as neoclassical).

The success of the classical education movement continues to generate headlines in major publications and the support among parents hoping to see better educational options for their students continues to grow. As the number of classical schools continues to increase, whether they are charter schools, independent private, or parochial schools, people are now debating the extent to which, if any, classical education is (or should be) aligned with a political tradition and affiliation.Classical educators say they are offering a traditional liberal arts education–does that make classical education liberal? Classical educators say they are conserving the intellectual inheritance of the Western tradition–does that make classical education “conservative” in the Edmund Burke valued tradition, a sense of place, and one's intellectual inheritance?Could a content-rich education rooted in the great books of the Western canon, books that molded the minds of the Founding Fathers and history's greatest thinkers and leaders, produce a new generation who may cultivate the same opinions and values as such leaders concerning suspicion of government power, individual rights and freedoms based on the imago dei, and a regard for the truth, virtue, and liberty? This panel is intended to investigate these questions and the extent to which classical education is conservative and where along the conservative tradition we may find such principles. Jenna Robinson (Ph.D) is the president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal in Raleigh, NC. Jake Noland (Ph.D) serves as the Dean of Faculty at St. Thomas More Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. Robert Luddy is the president of CaptiveAire Systems and the founder of Thales Academy. This panel was delivered live at the Fall Classical Summit, a regional classical conference held at Thales Academy Rolesville Junior High-High School on October 4, 2024.

We find that we can work definitely towards the formation of character; that the habits of the good life, of the alert intelligence, which we take pains to form in the child, are, somehow, registered in the very substance of his brain; and that the habits of the child are, as it were, so many little hammers beating out by slow degrees the character of the man.  Therefore we set ourselves to form a habit in the same matter-of-fact steady way that we set about teaching the multiplication table; expecting the thing to be done and done with for life. " (The History and Aims of the P.N.E.U. pamphlet)Patrick Egan: "But the Florentine mind of the Middle Ages went further than this: it believed, not only that the seven Liberal Arts were fully under the direct outpouring of the Holy Ghost, but that every fruitful idea, every original conception, whether in Euclid, or grammar, or music, was a direct inspiration from the Holy Spirit, without any thought at all as to whether the person so inspired named himself by the name of God, or recognised whence his inspiration came."

Where you begin largely determines where you end. The modern, secular world defines human beings as being basically animals, but often dismisses the conclusions of such an idea. If man is basically an animal, then ideas of human dignity and the value of human life are easily subsumed in the reality of “might makes right.”Such a starting place and ending point are not in the best interests of students. Instead, classical education asserts the proposition that human beings are image bearers, having been created by God with the capacity for reason and contemplation, the drive for creative self-expression, and the capacity to make free, meaningful, moral choices. The idea of the imago dei is unique to the Judeo-Christian tradition and has influenced the course of Western history so that we hold it as a cherished First Principle.In this talk from the Conference of Miletus, Winston Brady, Director of Curriculum, Thales Academy and Director, Thales Press, examines the imago dei and the related concept of natural law and how these two ideas are of inestimable importance to the classical educator. Winston Brady has taught at Thales Academy since 2011 and has served Thales Academy in a variety of ways.Mr. Brady received a B.A. in English from the College of William and Mary, a M.Div. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mr Brady serves as the Director of Curriculum and Thales Press. Winston Brady delivered this conference presentation at the Conference of Miletus on July 8, 2024.The Conference of Miletus was a series of short lectures from members of the Thales Academy leadership team discussing what is true, what is good, and what is beautiful and the importance of these transcendental ideas to classical education.

Herein Dave and Jeff resume their tour through Henri-Irénée Marrou's ground-breadking volume on ancient education. We wrap up Chapter VI, "The Masters of the Classical Tradition", and see what Plato thought about mathematics, elementary education, gymnastics, plastic-segmented jumpropes, playing the triangle and blocks in Kindergarten, and more. How was Plato's Academy organized? Was it a rigorous shool for political science, a training ground for the abstruse, esoteric, and recondite? Or did it mostly exist in Plato's mind, a thought experiment akin to not ever seeing an actual circle? We tackle these and other questions, including "What are the olfactory nuances of the Athens Metro ride to Piraeus on a sunny January day?" This is something we wall want to know, so tune in!

This week, Jeff and Dave resume their woolly perambulations through the wonders of Henri-Irénée Marrou's august volume on ancient education. Specifically, we look at Chapter VI, entitled "The Masters of the Classical Tradition" to get our bearings on Plato's pedagogical revolution. Along the way, we ask, and seek to answer, such questions as: What is the Socratic method? What is the relationship between σοφία and practical efficiency? How many students did Plato have that pursued, and acquired, political power (the number is high)? How was the Academy organized? And, what is the genus of pumpkin? If you're interested in education, Plato, stale Simpsons references, Celine Dion, and more, then let's just say: This podcast can touch you one time And last for a lifetime And never let go 'til we're gone...

David is back with the conclusion of the Devil and the history attached to him! Covering other cultures, names, looks, and breakdowns of the info, the Devil gets fleshed out and examined in great detail. We pick back up with various forms of Evil in other cultures through history. Then many of the countless names of this entity are dissected and examined, paying careful attention to the origins of each. The several iterations of looks are discussed after that. And finally the episode concludes with analysis of the research and how it has influenced cultures through the ages. What was the actual purpose of this being? How has it evolved? And what conclusions can you draw from the information? David ends with opinion based on the facts, and encourages you to take a thoughtful examination of them for yourself. It's the finish of one of the biggest episodes in Blurry Photos history, one that hopefully teaches you something new and gives you perspective you never knew you were missing!

Until recently, classical music around the world has loved to project itself as being beyond the grasp of the masses. Carnatic music has been no exception to this self-created aura of inscrutability. Mangala Karthik, a Carnatic musician and teacher and co-founder of Anandi Centre of Music believes it is the duty of every teacher and learner to cut through the jargon and spread the joy of this magnificent art form. Her training under legends in the field and a constant connect with young minds at Anandi make her ideally placed to offer a session on the basics of appreciating Carnatic music at multiple levels. Accompanying Mangala in this episode of BIC Talks is a small cohort of talented young singers from Anandi. This session is adapted from a live venue event that took place in May 2022. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app! BIC Talks is available everywhere, including iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Overcast and Stitcher.

Do you remember the first episode of the season? I laid out the first morning of formal schooling with its materials galore: alphabet and math manipulatives, nature packs, watercolors, piles of books, cups of tea, and so on. I asked if buying and organizing supplies are what make a ready mother-teacher or if maybe, just maybe, we were missing the main thing. You know, like how to teach.From January to December, we've spent the entire year getting our pedagogy in place, learning our educational philosophy, and preparing to be mother-teachers. It's been a joy to do this and I hope you feel yourself getting your bearings in the classical Mason world as we learn together. Before I close us out this season, I have one more surprise. Today, the excellent Karen Glass joins me on the podcast to bring it all together: motherhood, philosophy, and education as one harmonizing whole. It was a dream to talk with her and I hope you enjoy our conversation!To catch the bonus question at the end of the episode, join us in Patreon! __________ Karen Glass homeschooled all of her four children from start to graduation using Charlotte Mason's methods.

How does the cultural adoption of secular moral categories impact people's qualities of life? How can classical teaching provide a solution to the modern loss of personhood?

What moral deformities exist in our K-12 education system? How does biological reductionism play into this confusion of morality?

Dr. Anika Prather tells her story with the last of three stages along her journey into falling in love with the classics, including the help of Marva Collins and several graduate school professors as a help to her.

What drives the error in our moral thinking today? How have the metaphysics of ethics changed over the course of history?

About our GuestMr. Barney serves as the Principal of Coram Deo Academy in Carmel, IN. In 2012 he was awarded the Henry Salvatori Prize for Excellence in Teaching from Hillsdale College. He completed his MA in Biblical Exegesis at Wheaton College, receiving The Tenney Award in New Testament Studies.

He has published A Classical Guide to Narration with the CiRCE Institute and A Short History of Narration through Educational Renaissance, where he blogs regularly on ancient wisdom for the modern era.Show NotesJason Barney places Charlotte Mason squarely within the classical tradition. In this conversation, Jason points to multiple attestations within the classical tradition and contemporary science that demonstrate that Mason was on to something right in her philosophy and practices. In our conversation, Jason lays out some of the problems with the modern factory education model. He explains how the art of narration fosters what contemporary scientists call "durable learning" or deep and lasting knowledge retention. Jason also takes on Bloom's Taxonomy and explains how it risks enshrining the teacher in modernism when they would be better served reading The Abolition of Man. Some topics in this episode include:Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition Modern Education Movements: Ruseau, Pestalozzi, John Lock, Monstasori Lessons from Contemporary Psychology and Neuroscience Narration, Retrieval Practice, and Durable Learning Practicing Narration in the Classroom Why Students Can't recall What They Just Read/HeardProblems With the Factory Model of Education Narration Leading to Good ConversationsProblems with Blooms TaxonomyMaking Time to Read  Resources and Books & Mentioned In This EpisodeA Short History of Narration A Classical Guide to Narration Educational Renaissance on Charlotte Mason Bonus Podcast Jason and I continued our conversation and talked in-depth about one of his favorite books for teachers, Teach Like A Champion by Doug Lemov.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of the primacy of personhood with the addition of chronological snobbery.

As an example, Karen points to the serpent in the Garden with Eve and then God's response and what we can learn from these kinds of stories. We also discuss maieutic questioning and the role it plays in coaching students well. There are many problems with reading comprehension questions and how they interfere with natural connections between author and reader. At the heart of questions, we must begin with two questions: "What is a person?" and "What is education?" Some topics in this episode include: Sometimes, the question is more important than the answer. What happens to an answer when the right question does not precede it? What are Socratic questions, and what are common mistakes with Socratic questions? How questions create a mental posture How does the relationship between question and answer influence the relationship between student and teacher? What is a person, and what is education?  What kind of curriculum should I buy for homeschooling?  What is a philosophy of education?  What is the relationship between caring and asking questions?

Dr. Anika Prather tells her story with the second of three stages along her journey into falling in love with the classics. This episode focuses on W. E. B. Du Bois as a help to her in her early years of teaching.

Dr. Anika Prather tells her story with the first of three steps along her journey into falling in love with the classics.

This lecture was given on March 18, 2022 at Auburn University. For more information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Jennifer Frey is an associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina and fellow of the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America. Prior to joining the philosophy faculty at USC, she was a Collegiate Assistant Professor of Humanities at the University of Chicago, where she was a member of the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. She has published widely on virtue and moral psychology and she has co-edited three volumes on Self-Transcendence and Virtue, Practical Wisdom, and Practical Truth. Her writing has been featured in Breaking Ground, Evangelization and Culture, First Things, Fare Forward, Image, Law and Liberty, The Point, and USA Today.

In this episode, we discuss Plato's dialogues "Euthyphro" and "Meno" to get a better picture of aporia. If you have not read these dialogues, do not fear: we give an overview of both dialogues and discuss some key passages. In these passages, we discuss the unpleasantness of experiencing aporia and Socrates as a gadfly. We consider Euthyphro's poor response to experiencing aporia due to his reluctance to admit his ignorance, and Meno's positive response to aporia by being willing to consider Socrates's questions with humility. There is the danger that aporia will lead to apathy, but as Socrates exhorts, "I think that we will be better men, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things that we do not know." Ultimately, we must remember that even though we may not have all of the answers, aporia should only spur us on to search for Truth.

Dr. Anika Prather welcomes you to her new podcast and lets you know where you will be journeying with her in coming episodes. The canon is for all of us, and we need to reclaim it.

The Sloan family adventures together in NC where they pursue a restfully-classical education. If you hang out with Amy for any length of time you'll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes. At any moment she could break into song and dance from Hamilton, 90s country music, or Shakespeare. Amy writes at HumilityandDoxology.com and hosts the biweekly “Homeschool Conversations” podcast.

Episode 13: Ludwig von Mises & The Modern Left   Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises was a brilliant and  prominent economist, historian, sociologist and author with far too many accolades and extensive writings to jump into in one episode. In this episode, I take a dive into his 1927 book Liberalism in the Classical Tradition, a comprehensive explanation of classical liberal policies and presentation of the benefits of these policies from an economical and moral perspective. Today, we focus on only a few of the many topics within the writing... these topics include:   Property... Freedom... and Capitalism   The Modern Left today are universally referred to as "liberals" and I feel we need to separate and clearly define liberals today vs. liberals in the classical sense. Leftists... Is a much more accurate and appropriate definition for liberals today. The original emergence and policies advocated from liberals in the classical sense, drastically differs from the leftists today. We will use these three specific topics as examples and I will highlight why I define myself, both from an economical and moral standpoint, as a liberal in the classical sense.    Enjoy. Or not.   Yours Truly. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unveiledpatriot/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unveiledpatriot/support
