Men with Chests
We have nearly forgotten what it means to be Men with Chests, and the consequences are all around us. Join me as we explore the Great Books, as we go back to the timeless ideas that built the West. In this show we pursue objective truth, goodness, and beauty; we learn about virtue as excellence (arete). We discuss the role that reason, emotion and desire all play in becoming a magnanimous man.

That Hideous Strength: The Descent of the Gods
In this episode I cover one particular scene from Chapter 15 where Mark's Chest grows because of his response to an act of impiety he's commanded to perform by Professor Frost. Later in the week, Michael Ward and I discuss this and other parts of the chapter, especially the opening scene when the gods descend. So I'm leaving most of that for the episode later in the week.
