What is human dignity? Is it a real thing, or merely an idea? If it's real, then where does it come from? And why do only human beings have dignity? What about other intelligent beings? What about the octopus?These are only some of the many questions that Damir Marusic and Santiago Ramos talk about in a slow-burn, philosophical episode of Wisdom of Crowds. Because Santiago is executive editor of Wisdom of Crowds, Damir wants to learn more about his bedrock convictions. He cross-examines Santiago about his religion, politics, and formative experiences.At first, Damir finds in Santiago a kindred spirit: both are skeptical about power and about big political theories. But Santiago does have one fundamental conviction that he is not skeptical about: universal human dignity. Damir presses Santiago on this topic. What is human dignity? How do you know it exists? And do only human beings have dignity? What about other intelligent animals? What about … octopi?The ending is one of the richest parts of the conversation, so we made this episode is free for all subscribers. * Daniel Patrick Moynihan documentary (PBS).* Song about the guerrilla priest: Victor Jara, “Camilo Torres” (YouTube).* “Of New Things,” Pope Leo XIII (Vatican.va).* “On the Progress of Peoples,” Paul VI (Vatican.va).* Jacques Maritain and the UN Declaration of Human Rights (UNESCO).* The Cold War in Latin America (RetroReport).* Michael Novak obituary (New York Times). * Iraq War timeline (Council on Foreign Relations).* Thomas Aquinas on the human soul (Summa Theologiae, New Advent).* Valladolid debate on the rights of indigenous people (In Our Time, BBC).* Octopus intelligence (Natural History Museum).Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

L'écrivain-journaliste, Jean-Claude Perrier est au micro de Caroline Gutmann pour son livre « Saint-Exupéry - Un Petit Prince en exil »aux éditions Plon.  À propos du livre : « Saint-Exupéry - Un Petit Prince en exil » paru aux éditions Plon Un ouvrage célébrant les 80 ans de la mort de l'auteur du Petit Prince. Depuis l'arrivée d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry à Ellis Island, le 31 décembre 1940, où il est chaleureusement accueilli par la foule et les journalistes, jusqu'à sa mort en solitaire en 1944 au-dessus de la Méditerranée, ce livre retrace les dernières années d'un des auteurs les plus mythiques du xxe siècle. Refusant sa nomination au Conseil national de Vichy, sans se rallier pour autant au général de Gaulle, Saint-Exupéry tient depuis New York une position politique nuancée, mal comprise, qui entraînera une polémique avec le philosophe Jacques Maritain. L'aviateur continue toutefois d'encourager la Résistance et s'engage dès 1943 pour libérer son pays. Cet exil américain, d'une importance cruciale dans la vie de l'écrivain, est aussi l'occasion de multiples rencontres, notamment celles de Jean Renoir, avec qui il se liera d'amitié, d'André Breton, à qui tout l'oppose, ou encore de Silvia Hamilton, l'une des nombreuses femmes de sa vie. Enfin, c'est durant ces trois années que vont germer des œuvres capitales comme Pilote de guerre, Le Petit Prince ou Citadelle. De New York à Montréal, Jean-Claude Perrier s'est lancé dans une vaste enquête littéraire sur les traces de l'écrivain. À l'occasion des 80 ans de sa mort, il apporte ici autant d'éclairages nouveaux que de révélations captivantes pour la connaissance de son œuvre. Biographie de l'auteur Écrivain-journaliste, grand voyageur, Jean-Claude Perrier est notamment l'auteur des « Mystères de Saint-Exupéry » (Stock, 2009), qui a reçu le prix Louis-Barthou de l'Académie française et a été traduit en plusieurs langues.

On this episode of The Open Door, panelists Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Valerie Niemeyer discuss four giants of 20th century Catholic thought: Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II). Our welcome guest is Prof. Rick Spinello. He teaches at Boston College and St. John's Seminary in Boston. The author of numerous scholarly articles on ethics, Spinello has written or edited many books including The Encyclicals of John Paul II: An Introduction and Commentary and The Splendor of Marriage: John Paul II's Vision of Love, Marriage, Family, and the Culture of Life. Among the questions we'll be asking him are the following. Rick, how did you end up authoring a book on four Catholic philosophers?Your book combines biography with hard philosophical questions. Why did you write it?Would the average Catholic layperson, if there is such a person, want to read this book?What's it like to write a book about four saintly figures who were also intellectual giants?Why did you pick these four? Why not other Catholic “giants” of the last century?Is there such a thing as Catholic philosophy? Why has this been such a contested issue?What does this diverse group, Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Karol Wojtyla have in common?Three of these philosophers are converts to Catholicism. How would you compare their conversion experiences?Why are their philosophies important for the Church? What's their message for us today?Of the four, who was your favorite?Four Catholic Philosophers: Rejoicing in the Truth (Jacques Maritain, Edith Stein, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Karol Wojtyła)This book unfolds the intersecting life stories of four important Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, namely, Jacques Maritain, Edith Stein, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Karol Wojtyla, and examines the salient themes of their respective philosophies. Exploring the lives of these four individuals will unlock for the reader the nature of Catholic philosophy, which always aspires to a higher wisdom and the discovery of the hidden harmony of the universe. The spiritual itinerary of these faithful scholars is part of a larger story, therefore, of the intimate relationship between faith and reason that is at the heart of Catholic intellectual life.Four Catholic Philosophers: Rejoicing in the Truth (Jacques Maritain, Edith Stein, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Karol Wojtyła) | En Route Books and Media

Nous fêtons cette année le quarantième anniversaire de la mort de Jacques Maritain (1882-1973). C'est l'occasion pour La Foi prise au mot de revenir sur cette figure influente de la philosophie chrétienne du XXe siècle. Que reste-t-il de celui qui fut en quelque sorte la conscience chrétienne du milieu du XXe siècle, l'ami de tous les intellectuels chrétiens et athées, celui dont l'amour pour sa femme Raïssa fut célébré par tous, et celui dont la pensée influença deux papes, Paul VI et Jean-Paul II ? Quelle fut sa pensée et pourquoi joua-t-il un si grand rôle ? Pour parler de ce sujet, deux invités apportent leur éclairage : Florian Michel, historien et Louis Chamming's, ancien président du Cercle Jacques et Raïssa Maritain.

This week on The Open Door (November 29th), panelists Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Valerie Niemeyer continue their discussion of the art of translation, Eastern Catholicism, and the relation between Thomism and Ressourcement theology with special and returning guest Professor Matthew Minerd. He is a Ruthenian Catholic, raised Roman Catholic in a mixed American-Slavic and Appalachian cultural context in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Are there any translations that you think are especially helpful?You are an Eastern Catholic and teach in an Eastern Catholic seminary. What do Western Catholics especially need to know about Eastern Catholic spirituality?After Vatican II there were major changes in the Roman liturgy. Some now prefer what Benedict XVI presented as the Extraordinary Rite; others have embraced the liturgy of Eastern Catholicism. How have Eastern Catholics reacted to the liturgical changes in the West?What are some distinctive theological influences in Eastern Catholicism?Has Eastern Catholicism experienced special difficulties in addressing the relation between Church and State?Some speak of Jacques Maritain as the single most influential Thomist of the last century. Was he open to Ressourcement theology?You have a leadership role in the American Maritain Association. Where do you see the spirit of Jacques and Raïssa Maritain active today?Maritain was deeply engaged in the politics of his time.

"We must face the difference between two philosophies of human nature which must be traced back to fundamental differences in their philosophy of God--anthropocentric humanism and theocentric humanism: theocentric humanism recognizes that God is the center of man; it implies the Christian conception of man, sinner and redeemed, and the Christian conception of grace and freedom. The second kind of humanism believes that man himself is the center of man and applies a naturalistic conception of man and if individualistic freedom, that leads to the degradation of man."--Jacques Maritain, the crisis of humanismDon't forget to sign up for our Newsletter!!  JPll Renewal Center email listSubscribe to Jack's SubstackPlease consider being a Sponsor!

durée : 01:54:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - En 1973, France Culture proposait un hommage au philosophe chrétien Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) à travers lectures et précieux témoignages de ses amis proches. "Son beau visage saisissait quiconque le rencontrait" se souvient le médecin Robert Debré, qui fut l'ami de jeunesse de Jacques Maritain dans les années 1900-1905. "Long et mince, le front penché, je me souviens très bien de lui transportant des livres de Charles Peguy, dans une petite boutique-librairie située au 05 rue de la Sorbonne à Paris". Ce jeune homme ainsi évoqué par Robert Debré, fut reçu à l'agrégation de philosophie en 1905 à l'âge de 23 ans, et décida de se convertir au catholicisme deux ans plus tard, sous l'influence de l'écrivain Léon Bloy. Une démarche que cet idéaliste et chercheur de vérité entreprit de concert avec son épouse la philosophe Raïssa Maritain (née Raïssa Oumançoff). "Jacques Maritain était un homme d'une transparence, d'une pureté rarissime" Orchestrée par l'écrivain et éditeur Stanislas Fumet, cette émission , composée de lectures et d'entretiens, reconstitue les principales étapes de l'itinéraire intellectuel de Jacques Maritain, disparu le 28 avril 1973. Outre le témoignage vivant du professeur Debré, cet hommage radiophonique donne à entendre d'autres voix exceptionnelles : celle du Père jésuite Michel Riquet, du journaliste André Frossard, sans oublier celle de l'écrivain Julien Green, du compositeur Georges Auric ou du philosophe et indianiste Olivier Lacombe. Les matinées de France Culture - Un philosophe agent secret du Roi des Rois : Jacques Maritain (1ère diffusion : 17/07/1973 Par Stanislas Fumet Avec Robert Debré, Georges Cattaui, André Frossard, Michel Riquet, Olivier Lacombe, Georges Auric, Julien Green et Pierre Manent Archives INA/RADIO FRANCE Edition web: Sylvain Alzial

"- Charlotte Mason. Some Topics and Ideas in this Episode Include: Biggest challenges in starting a co-op Building your classical education community  Specific steps in order to begin with intention and clarity  Modeling, teaching, and delegating tasks according to gifts Ways to include creativity in your homeschool  Adrienne's Favorite Mason Quotation:"All is mystery, being what the heart of man could not conceive of unless it had been revealed.'Great is the mystery of Godliness: God manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.' [1 Tim 3:16] And what a barren and dry land should we dwell in if our spirits were narrowed to the limits of that which we can comprehend! Where we err is in supposing that mystery is confined to our religion, that everything else is obvious and open to our understanding. Whereas the great things of life, birth, death, hope, love, patriotism, why a leaf is green, and why a bird is clothed in feathers––all such things as these are mysteries; and it is only as we can receive that which we cannot understand, and can discern the truth of that which we cannot prove, and can distinguish between a luminous mystery and a bewildering superstition, that we are able to live the full life for which we were made."- C. Mason, Ourselves, 201. Resources and Books & Mentioned In This EpisodeCourse Offerings for Bluebonnet Scholars: https://www.bluebonnetscholars.org/class-offerings/Primary Curriculum for Sweetwater Scholé: https://www.bewildandfree.org/youngnaturalistA Thinking Love by Karen GlassOurselves by Charlotte Mason______________________________This podcast is produced by Beautiful Teaching, LLC.OUR MISSIONWe exist for the benefit of both parents and teachers.

Wear is the Love, Episode 22It's been a rough week. Michael recaps the May 24th primaries, and then we discuss the aftermath of all these shootings. We don't have answers, and we can't put a bow on things, but maybe the episode is a place for grief? We're not sure. Take care, dear friends.Michael & MelissaP.S. Don't forget that this past week we launched The Morning Five. Our hope is that it might be the kind of quick listen that helps you situate your day, and the events of the day, within the scope of God's grace. Maybe listen to it while you drive the kids to school as a way to pray together and think together. We're experimenting with it for now, but will likely make it available on Apple Podcasts and other podcast services soon.

Religious power wielded wisely and mildly and indirectly, with due respect to liberty and diversity and a focus first on the faith's internal health and zeal, can sustain a religious ascendancy for many ­generations. But religious power wielded too much against pluralism, with political ambition substituting for real faithfulness, will corrupt and enervate and bring about its own reward.”“What Progress Wants” (The Abbey of Misrule - Substack)Because “The Italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce saw the modern era as a thorough and permanent revolution - a radical break with the human past. He defined a modern person as ‘someone who thinks that “today it is no longer possible…”' We do not tend to see our time as continuous with what has gone before…By sweeping away old ways of thinking, seeing and living, modernity has produced ‘a type of violence capable of breaking the continuum of history.'”“The Rotten Core of Our Political System” (The Atlantic)Because we're reading the new book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future” and enjoyed this review from George Packer.“Inside LA's Homeless Industrial Complex” (The New Republic)

La SALETTE (Diocese de Grenoble, França) A aparição de 19 de setembro de 1846 foi única e relativamente breve: talvez menos de meia hora; mas marcou profundamente toda a vida dos videntes, por mais atormentados e perseguidos que fossem. A mensagem que eles receberam consiste sobretudo nas lágrimas silenciosas da Virgem sobre o pecado com que o mundo se destrói: uma mensagem fundamental que teve um amplo eco, chegando ao topo da Igreja (Pio IX e Leão XIII), e foi sustentada por grandes intelectuais convertidos que deram um fôlego cristão à inteligência e à cultura francesas no início do século XX: Huysmans, Léon Bloy e seu afilhado Jacques Maritain, Verlaine, Péguy, Claudel, Massignon, Bernanos. Era também um sinal de contradição, sobretudo pelos segredos que o Santo Ofício proibia de falar para acalmar as águas e os videntes. O bispo de Grenoble, Mons. De Bruiilard, os estimava, mas seu sucessor, homem de poder e grande senso político, que foi nomeado pela comitiva do futuro Napoleão III logo após seu golpe de estado, excluiu e perseguiu os videntes, cujo segredo estigmatizou o imperador ("águia depenada", disse Maximin), que mais tarde seria aliado de Garibaldi na luta contra o Papa. Desde então, a tradição oficial oprimiu os visionários até o centenário. O livro histórico básico declarava Melanie histérica, num clima que o futuro João XXIII, então núncio apostólico na França, pacificou ao vir celebrar o centenário; e foi uma longa polêmica, bloqueada pelo decreto que impôs silêncio, entre os defensores do segredo - cujo texto autêntico permanecerá desconhecido até ao limiar do terceiro milênio - e os que o consideravam uma digressão dos videntes. O texto oficial do segredo, registrado em todas as formas jurídicas por Mons. Genouilhac, desde 1851 e trazido ao Papa Pio XII. Recentemente este foi redescoberto por Michel Corteville, que permitiu esclarecer este problema. Esta pesquisa demonstra sobretudo a sinceridade dos videntes, que são desiguais em suas profundezas, mas cuja vida foi inteiramente gasta no compromisso de responder à missão que lhes foi confiada pela Virgem: "Faz saber ao meu povo". Maximin, que morreu quando jovem, não pôde cumprir sua vocação sacerdotal e depois médica. Melanie, depois de ser excluída de La Salette e exilada na Inglaterra, foi para a Grécia e Itália, onde encontrou ampla atenção. Foi adotada pelo hoje Santo Aníbal Maria di França (1851-1927) como co-fundadora de sua Ordem, que, por isso, quis que fosse sepultada na capela das freiras que fundara com ela. Finalmente, os volumes demonstram, com base em documentos indiscutíveis, que Melanie foi uma verdadeira mística e que os dois videntes tiveram o raro mérito de permanecer humildemente fiéis à fé, obediência, discrição, evitando controvérsias. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/locus-mariologicus/message

Returning guest, Brett Fawcett discusses the development of Just War Theory and universal human rights as developed through the middle ages into modernity through the work of Jacques Maritain. "So Maritain, he's writing this during World War Two, he's very influential, and he writes this book on the Rights of Man and natural law and says 'once this war is over we've got to really establish these rights for everyone to know about and his appendix is like a bill of international human rights..."

Returning Guest, Brett Fawcett discusses the development of Just War Theory and universal human rights as developed through the middle ages into modernity through the work of Jacques Maritain. Show Snippet: "Let's start in, say, the middle ages...there's this idea that there's a unity of the human family, we're all descended in some sense from Adam, and we're certainly all created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore we all have dignity..."

As our society continues to fracture, writers across the political spectrum have repeatedly invoked the classical concept of the common good. Thinkers such as Jacques Maritain and Yves Simon offered robust accounts of the common good in a pluralistic, democratic society. Yet frequently, today's invocations of the common good dodge questions about pluralism and pass over these accounts or reject them outright. Were these earlier thinkers naïve? Do their accounts still offer us valuable insights, or were they better suited to a time that has now passed? How can we genuinely promote the common good in a society with so much disagreement about what it is? Ross Douthat is a New York Times Opinion columnist.

In Kindred Spirits: Friendship and Resistance at the Edges of Modern Catholicism (University of Chicago Press, 2021), Brenna Moore takes us inside a global network of Catholic historians, theologians, poets, and activists who pushed against both the far-right surge in interwar Europe and the secularizing tendencies of the leftist movements active in the early to mid-twentieth century. With meticulous attention to the complexity of real lives, Brenna Moore explores how this group sought a middle way anchored in “spiritual friendship”—religiously meaningful friendship understood as uniquely capable of facing social and political challenges. Some of the figures are still well-known—philosopher Jacques Maritain, Nobel Prize laureate Gabriela Mistral, influential Islamicist Louis Massignon, poet of the Harlem renaissance Claude McKay—while others have unjustly faded from memory. Friendship, they believed, was a key to both divine and human realms, a means of accessing the transcendent while also engaging with our social and political existence. Piotr H.

Dr. Matthew Minerd returns to R&T to discuss Jacques Maritain and whether he was a liberal Catholic.

Welcome to The Open Door! This week (December 1) we discuss the direction of the Catholic Church, especially in the United States, and the currents of thought—and action—that shape that direction. Our welcome guest is Larry S. Chapp. He taught theology for two decades at De Sales University. Currently he owns and manages, with his wife Carrie, the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker Farm in Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania. He is the author of Scientific Naturalism and its Challenge to the Christian Faith (T & T Clark, 2011). Among the questions we'll ask are the following. Please feel free to suggest your own! You've just recovered from COVID. Could you tell us about the experience and the lessons that it brings?From university professor to managing a farm? Why and how did this come about?Dorothy Day was a student of Catholic intellectuals like Jacques Maritain and Emmanuel Mounier. Who are the mentors of today's Catholic Worker movement?How does Vatican Council II continue to shape American Catholicism?You underscore the pivotal importance of Gaudium et spes, n. 22. “The truth is that only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light.” Why is this so?Now comes a tall order! You distinguished, following D.C. Schindler, four responses to political modernity: Whig Thomism, a modus vivendi prudentialism, integralism, and the prophetic/eschatological stance. Could you navigate us through these positions?Quo vadis? You've written that this question is the most pressing one we face today. St. Junipero Serra's reply is Siempre adelante, con juicio. Do any particular examples or applications come to mind?

This is a crossover episode in which Thomas joins forces with Scott Hambrick and Karl Schudt from the Online Great Books Podcast,  to discuss the classic essay Art and Scholasticism by Jacques Maritain. This episode covers beauty as a transcendental and its role in the fine arts, and intuition as the way we experience artistic beauty. The beauty of a work does not depend on the emotional effects it produces, nor can it be proven by analysis. We experience beauty intellectually, but by intuition rather than by thought. The hosts also digress into arguments over photography as a fine art, Glenn Gould, and craft beers.

Scott and Karl are joined by special guest Thomas Mirus, Director of Podcasts for CatholicCulture.org, to finish their discussion of Jacques Maritain's Art and Scholasticism.  What does contemplating beautiful art do for the soul? Mirus says that if you have metaphysics going into your art, "It's going to make you aware of what art is leading you to and also where art is coming from."  The trio also talks about how great art causes an emotional response but its object is not to do that. Scott adds, "If you are yanking everyone's emotional chain, you are not exactly creating art." Tune in for Part Two of their discussion, brought to you by onlinegreatbooks.com. 

This is a crossover episode in which Thomas joins forces with Scott Hambrick and Karl Schudt from the Online Great Books Podcast,  to discuss the classic essay Art and Scholasticism by Jacques Maritain. Maritain argues for an objective view of both art and the artist, bringing an orderly, scholastic, Thomistic approach to understanding aesthetics. Mirus says, "Maritain gets art better than any other philosopher who came before him in the Western Tradition." For Maritain, art is “a virtue of the practical intellect that aims at making." The virtue or habitus of art, Maritain writes, is not simply an “interior growth of spontaneous life”, but has an intellectual character and involves cultivation and practice. The trio also talks about how fine arts and practical arts have been cloven off. How can we hold them both in esteem without denigrating the other? Scott says, "If we really know what art is then we will be more connected to honest work— that will be a refuge from this intellectual confusion, this metaphysical disgustingness, around us."

Robert Wood's Presentation "Beauty in the Tradition: Jacques Maritain & St.Thomas Aquinas" at the Hildebrand Project's 2017 Summer Seminar: Retrieving Beauty.

On Friday, July 10th we welcomed distinguished professor, author, and scholar Alan Jacobs to discuss his ever-timely book The Year of Our Lord 1943: Christian Humanism in an Age of Crisis. In his book, Jacobs describes how after the second World War, five Christian intellectuals presented strikingly similar visions for the moral and spiritual renewal of their countries.Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil all believed the renewal of their respective societies in the aftermath of World War II would come through education that was grounded in a Christian understanding of the power and limitations of human beings. Alan helped us consider the ways our world is changing due to our current crisis, and look back to these Christian intellectuals and their vision for cultivating a flourishing society and rebuilding a shared sense of the common good after world-wide disruption.

It was my pleasure to interview Matthew Lee Anderson for our podcast last month. I'll start with the usual introductory matters. Matt is an Assistant Research Professor of Ethics and Theology at Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion and the Associate Director of Baylor in Washington. He's also an Associate Fellow at the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics, and Public Life at Oxford University, where he completed a D.Phil. in Christian Ethics. As you'll hear in the interview, Matt is the author of two books:  Earthen Vessels: Why Our Bodies Matter To Our Faith and The End of Our Exploring. Matt is also the founder of Mere Orthodoxy, a site that has consistently published thoughtful, irenic, and theologically informed Christian writing for over 15 years. Moreover, Matt's writing has appeared in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, The Washington Post, and elsewhere. Finally, Matt's newsletter, The Path Before Us, offers moral and theological analysis of contemporary culture and politics. In our conversation, we ranged over a variety of topics, but I'd say that reflection on the moral life was a unifying theme. Below is an outline of the conversation with timestamps so that you can navigate your way to places of interest.

Peace, Michael SacasasAssociate DirectorStudy Center ResourcesOur Readings in the Christian Imagination reading group is now reading Alan Jacobs's The Year of Our Lord 1943, which focuses on the work of five Christian intellectuals—C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot, Jacques Maritain, and Simone Weil—who, in the middle of World War Two, turned their attention to the question of education and the life of the mind. We will discuss the first half the book on Monday, October 26th over Zoom at 8:00 p.m.The rest of our program is in full swing. Our Director's classes are meeting via Zoom and in-person and our Dante group meets via Zoom on Wednesday afternoons.

When Arendt added ‘Ideology and Terror' to Origins in 1958, the tenor of the work changed. The elements of totalitarianism were numerous, but in loneliness she found the essence of totalitarian government, and the common ground of terror.— Earlier this year, Jay Parini reflected on his meeting with W. H. Auden:"I've learned a little in my life," he said. "Not much. But I will share with you what I do know. I hope it will help."He lit a cigarette, looked at the ceiling, then said, "I know only two things. The first is this: There is no such thing as time." He explained that time was an illusion: past, present, future. Eternity was "without a beginning or an end," and we must come to terms with what underlies time, or exists around its edges. He quoted the Gospel of John, where Jesus said: "Before Abraham was, I am." That disjunctive remark upends our notions of chronology once and for all, he told me.I listened, a bit puzzled, then asked: "So what's the second thing?""Ah, that," he said. "The second thing is simply advice. Rest in God, dear boy. Rest in God." This is a public episode.

We are reminded that they are fragile like us, and that their maintenance demands investment – of money certainly, but equally importantly of space and time, the space and time of learning. In The Year of Our Lord 1943, Alan Jacobs reminds us that in the midst of World War II a number of leading Christian intellectuals – Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil – dedicated themselves to the task of imagining education's future. They wondered: What kind of schooling will the citizens of postwar Western societies require? What role might the Christian tradition play in their education? They, too, were asking how “what has been received” might be passed on to the rising generation. The pandemic has made this question a pressing one once again, given its massive disruption of the business of education, Christian or otherwise. This is a public episode.

Senior editor Matthew Boudway and Dr. Alan Jacobs discuss Jacobs' new book The Year of Our Lord 1943: Christian Humanism in an Age of Crisis, in which he recounts how thinkers like Jacques Maritain, T.S. Eliot, Simone Weil, C.S. Lewis, and W.H. Auden understood that their soon-to-be victorious nations weren't culturally or morally prepared for their power and success. Their work sought to articulate a sober critique of their own culture and and outline a plan for spiritual regeneration in a post-war world.
