  • サマリー

  • Welcome to The Pillars: Jerusalem, Athens, and the Western Mind, a podcast that tells the story of the prophets, philosophers, and poets who created the West. In this podcast, Rabbi Dr. Mitchell Rocklin guides listeners through more than 3,000 years of Western history, offering a coherent, civilizational story of how the West came to be—along with a deepened understanding of the challenges it now faces. While many of the texts discussed will be familiar to students of the humanities, Rabbi Rocklin offers a new framework for understanding them—a framework in which the teachings of the Jewish religious tradition play a central role. For, as Rabbi Rocklin explains, Western civilization can only be understood as the product of a transformative and ongoing collision between the great traditions of Jerusalem and Athens—between the religious spirit of the Jews and the philosophical spirit of the Greeks.

    The Odyssey: The Curious Case of Odysseus
    2024/11/21

    The gods and fate continue to control mankind, but The Odyssey will now add a third element: human folly. Together, we’ll answer the following questions:

    1. Why would Odysseus have chosen to go home instead of possibly becoming immortal?
    2. What role does Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, play in bringing Odysseus home?
    3. How does Odysseus model a different version of Greek heroism than Achilles and Hector?

    Recommended Reading: Homer. The Odyssey. Trans. Robert Fagles. New York: Penguin, 1996.

    2. How does The Iliad highlight the values of the Greek gods that the heros then personify?
    3. How does Homer attempt to resolve the conflict between loyalty to the family and loyalty to the city?
