Podcasts about Huizinga

When the concept of ‘gamifying life' comes up, scoring is transparent and portable but strips nuance, creating a gap between what's measurable and what matters. When codifying everything through metrics, massive amounts of nuance is lost, so how can we utilize game theory without reducing everything to a high score? C. Thi Nguyen is a professor of philosophy at the University of Utah. He is also the author of the books The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Games, and Games: Agency As Art. Greg and Thi discuss the differences between genuine gameplay and institutional metrics and gamification. Thi explains Huizinga's “magic circle” concept, where games create a temporary space with altered meanings and low real-world stakes, enabling intense striving without value capture. Drawing also on Bernard Suits, Thi frames games as voluntarily taking on unnecessary obstacles and distinguishes achievement play (valuing winning) from striving play (valuing the struggle), separating these from intrinsic vs extrinsic motivations.  They discuss how clear scoring is transparent and portable but strips nuance, creating a gap between what's measurable and what matters; transparency can reduce bias yet undermine expertise. Examples include social media likes, quotas, education metrics, sports rule changes, cooking “recipe vs dish,” and academia's citation and ranking pressures. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The paradox on inefficiency 08:31: To play a game is to voluntarily take on unnecessary obstacles,  to create the possibility of struggling to overcome them, which I find, it's got to be to be inefficient, but interestingly not fully inefficient. So we're not trying to be as inefficient as possible. One of the ways to put the paradox of games is we take on an inefficiency and then we try to be as efficient as possible inside that inefficiency. The trap of simple scoring 04:00: One of the biggest differences between real games and the kinds of gamifications of work and education that we find is that gamifications are attempts to modify things into line with simple scoring systems that occur continuously with the rest of life that have direct connections to valuable resources. Collapsing the magic circle 05:08: Twitter likes and citation rates and gamified work are modifications of something that has preexisting value, preexisting activity. So I think the important thing about Twitter, X, Facebook is those scoring systems don't occur in a magic circle. They don't occur in a space with separated meaning. They modify our activities in the real world and change our attitudes and interactions over real world resources. So I think exactly like this easy glide from games or grudge to like we should gamify everything ignores one of the most crucial elements, which is some version of this magic circle is basically active in a lot of genuine gameplay, but is completely inactive, is completely canceled. We have the superficiality of scoring systems and game-ishness, but deep down we don't have the core guts of transferring into a temporary alternate meaning space whose meanings kind of can be held relatively isolated.

In this episode Bryan and Bonnie sit down with Gretchen Huizinga to explore the mysterious and, to some, controversial topic of AI. This episode dives deep into how artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a mirror reflecting human flaws, spiritual dangers, and divine opportunities. Gretchen Huizinga, a Christian scholar at the intersection of AI ethics and theology, shares eye-opening insights on how AI threatens to replace human voice and voice, risk idolatry, and influence the fabric of church life and personal identity. She highlights startling realities—AI coaching into self-harm, monopolizing productivity, and subtly replacing our ability to wrestle with difficulty—pushing us toward dependence rather than dependence on Christ. You'll discover: -How AI's roots in secular humanism clash with biblical truths about human worth and divine image -The biblical principles that challenge us to steward technology responsibly instead of succumbing to idolatry -The dangers of outsourcing our moral, spiritual, and relational development to machines -Why the church must reclaim its voice and lead as countercultural stewards of authentic humanity in an AI-driven world -Practical guardrails rooted in the fruits of the Spirit, especially self-control, to resist the subtle seduction of ease and efficiency -This episode is perfect for church leaders, Christians navigating a tech-saturated culture, and anyone concerned about AI's influence on our souls and society. As Gretchen reminds us, in a world increasingly dependent on AI, the true voice and presence of God remain essential—our hope, our guide, our greatest treasure. Don't miss this urgent call to reflect, resist, and reclaim what it means to be fully human created in God's image. Activation begins in your heart and your stewardship—listen now and join the conversation shaping the future of faith and technology.

Aan tafel deze week: straatarts Michelle van Tongerloo, filosoof Daan Roovers, kunstenaar Tina Farifteh, schrijver Chloe Dalton. Presentatie: Maaike Schoon Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/44DbLUi Michelle van Tongerloo is huis- en straatarts, en in de Rotterdamse Pauluskerk zet zij zich in voor de medische zorg van daklozen. Van Tongerloo ziet al jaren hoe het aantal daklozen toeneemt. Met de winter in aantocht is het de vraag hoe deze groeiende groep de kou moet overleven. ‘Onze democratie staat onder druk', zegt filosoof Daan Roovers in de Huizingalezing deze week. Aan de hand van het werk van historicus Johan Huizinga onderzoekt ze wat een gezonde politieke cultuur vraagt van politici, burgers en media. Daarbij stelt Roovers scherpe vragen: hoe voorkomen we dat kabinetten blijven vallen? En is onze politiek, zoals Huizinga al in de jaren dertig schreef, gevangen in een permanente puberteit? Het vluchtelingendebat bepaalt al jaren de politieke agenda in Den Haag en zorgt voor rumoer in de samenleving. Daarbij verdwijnt vaak de menselijke kant. Met de tentoonstelling In Your Face legt Tina Farifteh juist die onderbelichte kant vast in het Nationaal Archief van het Rijksmuseum met het verhaal van een vluchteling zelf. Ze was een workaholic en politiek adviseur voor het Britse parlement tot een pasgeboren haasje haar aandacht trok. In haar bestseller Een Haas in Huis, schrijft Chloe Dalton hoe deze ervaring haar leven en haar blik op de natuur totaal veranderde. Het boek won verschillende literaire prijzen en was een New York Times-bestseller.

Van theorie naar praktijk: hoe maak je ruimte voor spel in de klas?Na de theoretische verkenning in deel 1 duikt Jan Jaap Hubeek in deze tweede aflevering de onderwijspraktijk in. Hij bezoekt de twaalf Montessorischolen van Stichting Monton in midden-Nederland en spreekt met professionals die dagelijks worstelen met de vraag: hoe geef je kinderen vrijheid én structuur?"Waar ik dus de hele dag mee struggle is die vrijheid en verbondenheid," vertelt een leerkracht eerlijk. "Je geeft vrijheid, maar je bent het ook constant aan het begeleiden." Het is de kern van het pedagogisch handelen in Montessorionderwijs – en misschien wel in elk onderwijs dat spel serieus neemt.Bestuurder Jeroen Gommers legt uit waarom Monton bewust kiest voor meer speelruimte, ondanks de druk van meetbare resultaten: "Spel is misschien wel de meest onderwaardeerde werkvorm die we in het onderwijs hebben." Maar die keuze is spannend. Want uiteindelijk word je als bestuurder niet afgerekend op de brede vorming van kinderen, maar op toetsscores.Schoolleiders Dorien König en Lenny van Pouderoijen beschrijven hoe cruciaal observatie is, hoe je als professional curriculumbewust moet zijn, en waarom fouten maken eigenlijk een geschenk is – al is dat niet makkelijk.Anne Bakker brengt de dimensie van pedagogisch bewegen in: "Het gedrag van potentie. Het kan iets worden. En hoe meer we dat koppelen aan wat het moet worden, hoe meer het zijn potentie verliest."Deze aflevering laat zien dat spel in het onderwijs geen vrijblijvend idealisme is, maar vakmanschap vraagt. Kennis van leerlijnen. Vermogen tot observeren. Moed om los te laten. En het geduld om, zoals Jeroen Gommers het noemt, "ongemak te dragen."Van cheerleader tot kritische spiegel, van facilitator tot achtervang – de professionals bij Monton laten zien wat het betekent om die pedagogische ruimte waar Huizinga, Arendt en Martens over schreven, werkelijk vorm te geven in een klas vol kinderen.Aflevering 1 verkende de theorie. Aflevering 2 toont de complexe, veeleisende, maar ook rijke praktijk van professionals die elke dag opnieuw die balans zoeken tussen vrijheid en structuur, tussen vertrouwen en begeleiding, tussen spel en leren.Een productie van NIVOZ/Meesterwerk en Stichting Monton

I always thought something was wrong with me—like I was too much, too all over the place. But when I learned just one tiny thing about my Human Design... it was like getting permission to finally be who I already was.

In deze zomerse aflevering van De Interieur Club Zomergasten is Paulien Huizinga te gast en gaat in gesprek met Mark Timo. Ze vertelt over haar bijzondere reis van Miss Universe naar tv-presentator en nu succesvolle fotograaf en art consultant. We praten over haar liefde voor naaktfotografie, haar bedrijf Dit Is Geen Galerie en hoe ze kunstenaars zonder galerie een podium biedt. Paulien deelt haar visie op kunst in interieurs: weg met de clichés, op naar meer persoonlijkheid! Ook hoor je waar zij haar inspiratie vandaan haalt—van stoffige ateliers tot het magische Museumhuis Bartolotti in Amsterdam. Ze is uitgesproken over designbeurzen, en niet bang om de gevestigde orde ter discussie te stellen. Natuurlijk hebben we het ook over haar zomerse plannen in Friesland, AI in fotografie, en haar fascinatie voor contrasten en structuren. Een creatief en eerlijk gesprek met een vrouw die haar eigen pad durft te kiezen.Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/buoyantLicense code: 2AE87LQB17XZQJL6

Teria sido bom se em vez de cigarros e outros vícios ocasionais, tivéssemos aprendido um instrumento, desses que puxam por nós, tornam mais fértil a solidão, e nos levam por lugares perdidos à boleia do som, frequentando uma gente que prescindiu de se fazer interessante, de se explicar, coleccionar temas e opiniões, mas que prefere outro ângulo do mundo, outras frequências, promete o sangue a uma circulação mais vasta, prescindir do teatro de quem está aí para nos dizer uma e outra vez quem é, antes tornar-se um nativo do fundo, das regiões que acatam todo o balanço, gostam de ranger com o mundo. A música bem pode ser uma forma de jogo que persiste até mais tarde na vida. Quem forma bandas ou acede a essa promiscuidade tão fluída das formações que despontam de forma ocasional, acidental, são os miúdos que se defendem da realidade através dessas formas de recreio sonoro. Devemos pensar na teoria dos círculos mágicos de que fala Huizinga, esses que se desenham numa situação de jogo, o qual não apenas gera uma zona nova, sujeita a outras leis ou regras particulares, mas também se extrai do contexto geral, e admite possibilidades mais profundas de recreação, activando modos de atenção particularmente fortes que, para alguns, são negativamente associados a formas de distracção frívolas, superficiais e improdutivas. Ao longo da história, como lembra Patrícia Gouveia, no catálogo da exposição Playmode, brincar e jogar foram habitualmente considerados opostos à disciplina, ao trabalho, à seriedade. Mas, em Homo Ludens, Huizinga vincou como “o conceito de jogo pertence a uma ordem mais elevada do que a seriedade dado que esta procura excluir a ideia de jogo, enquanto que o jogo pode perfeitamente integrar a ideia de seriedade”. Esta seriedade do jogo nada tem que ver com uma questão de produtividade, eficiência, ou qualquer dessas medidas do enredo capitalista. Huizinga preferia evocar a forma de envolvimento do jogador em formas de acção sublime e sagrada com a mais alta seriedade, arrebatamento e absorção. É esse modo de sublimar e de construir um enredo alternativo que integra uma série de propriedades mágicas e autonomiza os círculos do jogo. “Perfeito é não quebrar a imaginária linha”, escreveu Sophia. Assim, o jogo é um ensaio rebelde, um impulso de transformação decisiva, que pensa por propor um outro modo, mudar, escapar, dar margem para uma ficção que chega a ser para nós bem mais decisiva, bem mais absorvente e cativante. Como assinalava alguém, no jogo há qualquer coisa “em jogo” que transcende as necessidades imediatas da vida e que confere sentido à acção. Em certo sentido podemos encarar o futebol como um jogo que foi levado ao extremo e se impôs como uma espécie de civilização ficcional, com a sua mitologia própria, os seus heróis, e a sua carga de epicidade estupenda, que serve um recreio àqueles que viram o caminho para a infância e as liturgias do jogo serem-lhes proibidas. Em O Jogo da Glória, Carlos Maria Bobone nota como o desporto tem para nós “esta função escandalosa de oferecer uma escapatória ao destino e mostrar que, pelo menos, podemos criar qualquer coisa que nos diverte a partir de todo o mal que fazemos”… Mas e porquê? “Porque a vida em geral precisa de alívio, precisa que nos libertemos das suas finalidades, é que um desporto como o futebol pode ser tão apelativo. Não há nada necessário em chutar uma bola, nada funcional em marcar um golo. Um desporto destes liberta de uma obrigação mais geral de viver a vida e do peso dessa obrigação.” Neste episódio vamos andar à volta destas possibilidades de recreação e de ficção, nos modos mais ou menos subtis de insubordinação, e para isso, contámos com o apoio do Benjamin-velhinho, este reaccionário erudito, que se tem desdobrado entre ensaios de algum fôlego sobre aspectos mais ou menos centrais da cultura, sempre de forma esclarecida e saborosa. Também tem mantido uma empenhada acção crítica, e é alguém que traz um relógio de pulso que se ouve pela sala como um metrónomo. Ora, se queremos saber que horas são, qual é a nossa circunstância presente, devemos reconhecer que qualquer época deve, necessariamente, ser aferida através de uma relação crítica. “É unicamente através dela que a humanidade se pode tornar consciente do ponto a que chegou”, diz-nos Oscar Wilde. “É a Crítica, como sublinha Arnold, que cria a atmosfera intelectual de uma época. É a Crítica, como espero vir a sublinhá-lo eu um dia, que faz do espírito um instrumento preciso. Nós, com o nosso sistema educativo, derreámos a memória com uma carga de factos desconexos, e tentámos transmitir esforçadamente os conhecimentos que esforçadamente adquirimos. Ensinamos as pessoas a lembrar-se, nunca as ensinamos a crescer. Nunca nos ocorreu tentar desenvolver no espírito uma qualidade de apreensão e discernimento mais subtil.”

Gawain's adventure consists of two contests or games. Huizinga's Homo Ludens: human culture as play, as game-playing. But for real stakes. Gawain is really striving not for a prize or fame but for loyalty to virtue. He comes short because he is human and imperfect, but we must strive anyway, or nothing is achieved. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) can be difficult to distinguish from autoimmune nodopathy. In this podcast, Dr. Saima Chaudhry (1) is joined from the Netherlands by Dr. Ruth Huizinga (2) and Dr. Maarten Titulaer (3), to discuss their article, "Clinical relevance of distinguishing autoimmune nodopathies from CIDP: longitudinal assessment in a large cohort". They start with explaining what an autoimmune nodopathy really is, patient features to look out for, and the typical testing process for identifying CIDP.

Church is Asleep of the Ai Fake Trinity – Knowledge will increase, As the Days of Noah DNA Corruption, One Mind with the Ten Kings..   It's in Daniel 2, last Beast System 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

After scientifically observing what they called “vaccines” under the microscope, La Quinta Columna concludes humans have been injected with what they are calling a “liquid interface” of a massive implantation of the humans species by another species, which they suggest are demons. They have compared an implant inside a person who has experienced the “alien abduction” phenomenon and the COVID injection contents, and found the components to be the same.  They advise the aim is to have control over the human head and central nervous system, because it leads to, and I quote, “demonic possession.” They say 5G is essential to this control of humans through this demonic technological control.     Source:  Zee Media  

Thor Rydin joins to talk about his new book, The Works and Times of Johan Huizinga (1872- 1945): Writing History in the Age of Collapse (Amsterdam UP, 2023). This book offers a new perspective on the Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), who remains one of the most famous European historians of the twentieth century. Huizinga's lifetime was marked by dramatic transformations of Europe's cultural, religious, geographical and political landscapes: war, modern commercialism, industrialization, industrial urban planning, nationalism and fascism had shattered the truisms, moral codes and expectations with which Huizinga and his generation of well-to-do Europeans grew up. This book examines how these 'experiences of loss' affected and informed Huizinga's works. By centring such experiences rather than matters of character or social roles, the book offers an original image of an iconic historian but also considers him as a window into his times. Most centrally, this book contends that Huizinga's historical works helped to accommodate and give meaning to his own experiences of loss and rupture, thus offering him a way of life in turbulent times.

This week's guest is Kornelis “Kees” Huizinga, a member of the Global Farmer Network and farmer in central Ukraine. Since moving to Ukraine two decades ago, Kees Huizinga have seen exponential increases in planted area and production per hectare making them a major player in global markets. But Russia's invasion of the country has brought major hardship on Ukraine farmers in the loss of crops, livestock and infrastructure. Many Ukraine farmers have been lost not just in battles but while tending their fields and caring for livestock. Kees says farmers today identify with their grandfathers who fought for freedom during World War II. And he emphasizes the need to continue supporting Ukraine's military.

Welcome back to the Convivial Society. In this installment, you'll find the audio version of two recent posts: “The Pathologies of the Attention Economy” and “Impoverished Emotional Lives.” I've not combined audio from two separate installments before, but the second is a short “Is this anything?” post, so I thought it would be fine to include it here. (By the way, I realized after the fact that I thoughtlessly mispronounced Herbert Simon's name as Simone. I'm not, however, sufficiently embarrassed to go back and re-record or edit the audio. So there you have it.)If you've been reading over the past few months, you know that I've gone back and forth on how best to deliver the audio version of the essays. I've settled for now on this method, which is to send out a supplement to the text version of the essay. Because not all of you listen to the audio version, I'll include some additional materials (links, resources, etc.) so that this email is not without potential value to those who do not listen to the audio. Farewell Real LifeI noted in a footnote recently that Real Life Magazine had lost its funding and would be shutting down. This is a shame. Real Life consistently published smart and thoughtful essays exploring various dimensions of internet culture. I had the pleasure of writing three pieces for the magazine between 2018 and 2019: ”The Easy Way Out,” “Always On,” and “Personal Panopticons.” I was also pleasantly surprised to encounter essays in the past year or two drawing on the work of Ivan Illich: “Labors of Love” and “Appropriate Measures,” each co-authored by Jackie Brown and Philippe Mesly, as well as “Doctor's Orders” by Aimee Walleston. And at any given time I've usually had a handful of Real Life essays open in tabs waiting to be read or shared. Here are some more recent pieces that are worth your time: “Our Friend the Atom The aesthetics of the Atomic Age helped whitewash the threat of nuclear disaster,” “Hard to See How trauma became synonymous with authenticity,” and “Life's a Glitch The non-apocalypse of Y2K obscures the lessons it has for the present.” LinksThe latest installment in Jon Askonas's ongoing series in The New Atlantis is out from behind the paywall today. In “How Stewart Made Tucker,” Askonas weaves a compelling account of how Jon Stewart prepared the way for Tucker Carlson and others: In his quest to turn real news from the exception into the norm, he pioneered a business model that made it nearly impossible. It's a model of content production and audience catering perfectly suited to monetize alternate realities delivered to fragmented audiences. It tells us what we want to hear and leaves us with the sense that “they” have departed for fantasy worlds while “we” have our heads on straight. Americans finally have what they didn't before. The phony theatrics have been destroyed — and replaced not by an earnest new above-the-fray centrism but a more authentic fanaticism.You can find earlier installments in the series here: Reality — A post-mortem. Reading through the essay, I was struck again and again by how foreign and distant the world of late 90s and early aughts. In any case, the Jon's work in this series is worth your time. Kashmir Hill spent a lot of time in Meta's Horizons to tell us about life in the metaverse: My goal was to visit at every hour of the day and night, all 24 of them at least once, to learn the ebbs and flows of Horizon and to meet the metaverse's earliest adopters. I gave up television, books and a lot of sleep over the past few months to spend dozens of hours as an animated, floating, legless version of myself.I wanted to understand who was currently there and why, and whether the rest of us would ever want to join them. Ian Bogost on smart thermostats and the claims made on their behalf: After looking into the matter, I'm less confused but more distressed: Smart heating and cooling is even more knotted up than I thought. Ultimately, your smart thermostat isn't made to help you. It's there to help others—for reasons that might or might not benefit you directly, or ever.Sun-ha Hong's paper on predictions without futures. From the abstract: … the growing emphasis on prediction as AI's skeleton key to all social problems constitutes what religious studies calls cosmograms: universalizing models that govern how facts and values relate to each other, providing a common and normative point of reference. In a predictive paradigm, social problems are made conceivable only as objects of calculative control—control that can never be fulfilled but that persists as an eternally deferred and recycled horizon. I show how this technofuture is maintained not so much by producing literally accurate predictions of future events but through ritualized demonstrations of predictive time.MiscellanyAs I wrote about the possibility that the structure of online experience might impoverish our emotional lives, I recalled the opening paragraph of the Dutch historian Johan Huizinga's The Waning of the Middle Ages. I can't say that I have a straightforward connection to make between “the passionate intensity of life” Huizinga describes and my own speculations the affective consequences of digital media, but I think there may be something worth getting at. When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness that joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child. Every even, every deed was defined in given and expressive forms and was in accord with the solemnity of a tight, invariable life style. The great events of human life—birth, marriage, death—by virtue of the sacraments, basked in the radiance of divine mystery. But even the lesser events—a journey, labor, a visit—were accompanied by a multitude of blessings, ceremonies, sayings, and conventions. From the perspective of media ecology, the shift to print as the dominant cultural medium is interpreted as having the effect of tempering the emotional intensity of oral culture and tending instead toward an ironizing effect as it generates a distance between an emotion and its experssion. Digital media curiously scrambles these dynamics by generating an instantaneity of delivery that mimics the immediacy of physical presence. In 2019, I wrote in The New Atlantis about how digital media scrambles the pscyhodynamics (Walter Ong's phrase) of orality and literacy in often unhelpful ways: “The Inescapable Town Square.” Here's a bit from that piece: The result is that we combine the weaknesses of each medium while losing their strengths. We are thrust once more into a live, immediate, and active communicative context — the moment regains its heat — but we remain without the non-verbal cues that sustain meaning-making in such contexts. We lose whatever moderating influence the full presence of another human being before us might cast on the passions the moment engendered. This not-altogether-present and not-altogether-absent audience encourages a kind of performative pugilism.To my knowledge, Ivan Illich never met nor corresponded with Hannah Arendt. However, in my efforts to “break bread with the dead,” as Auden once put it, they're often seated together at the table. In a similarly convivial spirit, here is an excerpt from a recent book by Alissa Wilkinson: I learn from Hannah Arendt that a feast is only possible among friends, or people whose hearts are open to becoming friends. Or you could put it another way: any meal can become a feast when shared with friends engaged in the activity of thinking their way through the world and loving it together. A mere meal is a necessity for life, a fact of being human. But it is transformed into something much more important, something vital to the life of the world, when the people who share the table are engaging in the practices of love and of thinking.Finally, here's a paragraph from Jacques Ellul's Propaganda recently highlighted by Jeffrey Bilbro: In individualist theory the individual has eminent value, man himself is the master of his life; in individualist reality each human being is subject to innumerable forces and influences, and is not at all master of his own life. As long as solidly constituted groups exist, those who are integrated into them are subject to them. But at the same time they are protected by them against such external influences as propaganda. An individual can be influenced by forces such as propaganda only when he is cut off from membership in local groups. Because such groups are organic and have a well-structured material, spiritual, and emotional life, they are not easily penetrated by propaganda.Cheers!

In this conversation we take up Shakespeare's nearly infinite capacity to educate liberally all who encounter his works in deep and sustained ways. We also consider how Shakespeare liberally educates us in ways that complement how Dante teaches us. With particular attention to As You Like It, we examine how play—the play of supposition and the play of analogy—can be transferred to the classroom by the best teachers. Along the way, we consider the contributions to this topic made by Pieper, Huizinga, Gadamer, Sister Miriam Joseph, and Altman.

What is liberal education? And what is it not? In this conversation Margarita Mooney Suarez introduces her vision of liberal learning by considering the nature of the person whom we educate, the means of liberal learning, and the challenges that liberal learning faces today. Along the way, we consider what role imitation, play, humor, and imagination fulfill in liberal education and what we might continue to learn from Maritain, Newman, Huizinga, and St. Benedict. And how do all of these elements and sources enable us to (1) educate the integrated human person who possesses both a transcendent dimension and telos, (2) attain an integrated vision of all things, and (3) enter into the dance that transports us between focused forms of knowing—through the disciplines—and the contemplative vision of the whole?
