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.
