Lyceum Conversations 10 | Alex Burdge, teacher of humanities and veteran

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, Andrew talks with Alex Burdge, teacher of humanities at the Rhetoric School, about teaching Homer's Iliad, the ancient poem of war, as a veteran of war himself. We also talk about T. S. Eliot, the University of Kansas, classical guitar, and the role of Critical Theory in Alex's journey toward faith.

    Included in the episode are lengthier quotations from Robert Fagle's English translation of Homer's Iliad as well as a few mentions of a book by Timothy Patitsas, The Ethics of Beauty.

    A brief word of caution, this episode may be inappropriate for especially young listeners, as it deals with the experience of war, including some violent and disturbing images.
